After selling my Subaru in October I was on the hunt for a 510 as I love the shape of the car. They are really appealing to me. As I am living in central Europe/Austria my options are very small and i can only import a car.
USA market is "empty". I work in Porsche restoration have a good network of people in the USA, but there is, same as air cooled scene, not much left in the USA that is viable and worth the export/import hustle.
I found my little gem in Portugal, its a 1600SSS sedan, since 20 years in family. Has its flaws, but hey, its from 71. It is currently on the way to me, will get some work done to make it road ready and then explore the shit out of it!

Around the time of my wife's birthday, maybe I'll offer her a 'spa trip' as a present
That would be just perfect. Would she get suspicious stepping into the coupe when leaving?

That's really great man. Portugal is really a great place to source from.

Anyone knowing anything about car and driver?
Sound's like a L-20B, perhaps this one? Definitely not an L-14.

Anyway it looks to be a well done car and good driver, just like MK510 here on the Realm.
Wow, three racing 510's in Europe with the one that did laps at Spa.
Anyone else?

No, i did not forgot this one.
https://www.the510realm.com/viewtopic.php?f=33&t=28601 But no one reacted.
Another two door street 510 came with a fellow moving from Arizona i think it was, to Norway in the eighties. It was already used in autocross in the US, but was turned into a full race car by a long time 510 rallying and rallycrosser from Norway. Was in Pennzoil livery in the nineties and changed to Gulf livery sometime in the 2000s. Did some historic races in Norway. Heard it ended up in Portugal about ten years ago. So five known road race 510's in Europe, three 2-doors and two 4-doors. Anyone else?

There is one road race/historic 510 project in Denmark.
Here in Finland are also few historic rally 510's, and many more across the Europe.
