Original Volkswagen SP2 here in the USA! - $18950
Very Rare VW factory original SP2 sports car!

I’m very proud I can offer this car inside the USA, Yes! This car is located in Atherton California.

Sp2’s are only limited made by VW do Brazil in the early seventies… they are all steel cars! Do not compare with cheap Puma’s or kit cars, this is Factory original, in pressed steel….

Its an extremely rare car outside of Brazil as it was hardly never exported. General Volkswagen management did not allow Brazil to export the SP2’s worldwide as they feared competition for their 914 project, still don’t understand how wrong they could be! A SP2 has almost perfect 70’s bodylines, influences from real Italian sports cars are not far away, and the design is a perfect match from beauty, streamline and functionality! They are real cars and still today they are a pure form of beauty!

Therefore finding nice examples is very hard (and expensive!) even in Brazil, and exporting a car out of Brazil is a very tough, expensive and time consuming task!
