vehicles

Initially, the offer consisted of conversions based on the VW Beetle . The Seibt-Speedster model was an open two-seater that still looked a lot like the Beetle. These vehicles were available on the basis of VW 1200, 1302 and 1303. The price for a shell conversion with a convertible top was 6,400 DM . Complete vehicles cost from 14,900 DM.

The RS 1 Classic and the RS 2 Classic followed in 1990 . These were replicas of the Porsche 356 Speedster . The chassis from the VW Beetle was used. Engines from the VW Golf and Passat provided the drive .

From 1992 a model was available that resembled the Porsche Spyder . Here the chassis consisted of a hot-dip galvanized tubular steel frame. A boxer engine with either 90 or 132 hp power propelled the vehicle.
