A unique sports car named the Heynsdyk F2500 is on sale in Belgium right now. Back in the early 2010s, the Netherlands-based company built 14 such vehicles based on the Porsche 944 and sold the 15th one unfinished as it went bankrupt. You can now buy it for an estimated €45,000 – 50,000.
Interestingly enough, the company did not just replace the entire OEM bodywork – it has also retrimmed the cabin. What used to be a coupe became a roofless roadster with two seats, sporty-looking gills at the sides, a single-piece front end shaped not unlike a soap bar, Mini Cooper Mk1 headlamps and Alfa Romeo 159 taillights. The eclectic and controversial image is not helped by the obviously fake rear vents and a rear end that balances precariously between retro and shapeless.
Inside, the old gauges now sit on a new dashboard, the glove compartment lacks a door, the seats are wrapped in natural leather, and there is a JBL audio system on board. Rain protection is non-existent, so this is a car meant strictly for the sunny days.
Power still comes from a 2.5-liter flat-four engine rated at 163 PS (161 hp / 120 kW). The buyer of the car proceeded to complete it, make road-legal and drive it for 27,600 kilometers (17,150 miles) before putting it into their garage to collect dust. It has been completely restored prior to the auction, though.
The attached video shows the second and last Heynsdyk F2500 that we know anything about. Apparently, that car changed hands six years ago. What fate met the remaining 13 examples is a mystery.
