The Porsche 718 is a series of one or two-seat sports-racing cars built by Porsche from 1957 to 1962. The 718 was a development of the successful Porsche 550A. The car's full name is 718 RSK, where "RS" stands for RennSport (sports-racing) and the "K" reflects the shape of the car's revised torsion-bar suspension. It had a mid-engined layout. For many years the 718 RSK Spyder has been replicated by component car manufacturers around the world using numerous base vehicles, the VW Beetle is the most common base for an evocation.

This is a South African built 718-RSK Spider (sic), an evocation of the famous Porsche Spyder sports car. Brought to the UK from South Aftrica in May 2021, the chassis plate reads 718-RSK Spider. It's a running and driving car with a new battery, recent oil change and filter, new tyres, had attention to the electrics and the lights and the brakes have also had some fettling. The seats have been trimmed in South Africa. This version appears to be based upon a standard rolling chassis and running gear from a 1974 Volkswagen Beetle 1600cc with a 4-speed gearbox. The vendor is not sure when the conversion has taken place. Offered in a Porsche Yellow, possibly Racing Yellow at the time of consignment, it is on the NOVA register and in the process of being UK registered.
