    He has had it for 16years, and is still that emotional about it! That SP2 found its rightful owner. Keep cruising friends!

    in Brazil there are beetle parts even in pharmacy. Last year I went to São Paulo and I was impressed by the variety of pieces they have in Brazil. I visited a restorer. In Brazil there are the best vw restorers in the world. This year I'm going back there and I'm going to bring a Volkswagen Brasília

    Got to see this car in person, walked right past the Karmann ghias, kombis and other awsome VWs just to see the SP2. Gerhard was awsome to show it to me even though I just pitched up at his place out of the blue. Definetly my favourite VW of all time

      It looks a LOT like a De Tomaso Mangusta, rear was quite a bit different though. The SP2 really was a great looking car, too bad that it was so lacking in power. seen (pictures of) them that had porsche engines swapped into them

  • @WilliaNBK7
    @WilliaNBK7 Před 3 lety +9

    There is another version of this car called SP1. In fact is the same car, but small engine differences. When I was a child, my neighbor had a SP2, and I never forget that design.
    The price is getting more and more expensive here in Brazil. It costs about 90k reais.

    I've always been intrigued by the SP2. You can see them in the move "Blame it on Rio" riding along the mountain roads overlooking the beaches of Rio de Janeiro. It always seemed like the car matched that fun, beach going lifestyle like in the movie. What a little beast it might've been if Porsche would've modified the engine for VW to increase power.

    Exclusive model from 70's VW Brazil... has been only made here and the only way to get 1 it's buying from collectors that will make it no cheap task, but you pay only for the exclusivity and Design , being officially the prettiest VW ever... it's a 1.7L so not sporty at all , a base 911 from the same era would be faster but not rare as much... maybe you could swap a 930 engine , i would recommend👍🇧🇷
