Almost Scottie, in fact it was the 550 style front end that got replaced to fit the straight six -
I've never been much of a fan of the 550 front end myself, always preferring the swoopier lines of the RSK 718 or the upturned bathtub looks of the 356 -
Oh, and this is something I've wanted to do myself for a while, park up next to a current Porsche Boxster for a comparison shot. This one is an original 550 (on the right), which is roughly the same size as a Sammio, parked next to the lowered, lightened Boxster Speedster special edition -
And that's the Boxster
after it's been on a diet...
