Offered for sale is a genuine RCH 356 Speedster in a particularly elegant and period-correct colour combination: white glass-fibre bodywork, beige leather interior and steel wheels fitted with chrome hubcaps.
The car is based on a 1973 Volkswagen Beetle 1600 platform and is powered by an air-cooled 1.6-litre flat-four engine producing approximately 60 hp. Disc brakes provide more confident stopping performance than many more basic replica builds and complement the car’s driver-focused character.
Showing only approximately 8,000 km, this RCH presents as a lightly used enthusiast’s car. Its pared-back open-top design, low seating position and traditional air-cooled powertrain deliver an immediate and authentic driving experience.
An important distinction is that this is not an anonymous home-built replica, but a vehicle produced by the specialist manufacturer RCH (Replicar Hellas). Its flowing body shape, restrained specification and traditional wheel-and-hubcap combination were deliberately chosen to echo the appearance of historic 356 Speedsters.
The vehicle has German registration. It has also already been imported into Switzerland, with the applicable customs duties and taxes paid. This creates an attractive basis for both a buyer in Germany and an interested party in Switzerland.
The RCH is ideally suited to scenic drives, classic-car events and enjoyable touring on country roads. It combines the visual appeal of a historic Speedster with comparatively straightforward and well-known Volkswagen mechanical components.
