I was looking on Ebay and saw that one of the folks had nice looking repros of the later 356 B/C handles. They look kinda sweet and I prefer the rounded trailing edge to the square ones that came on the car. Anyone picked up a pair yet? Any opinions on the quality?

Anyway, these new repro handles got me thinking about where the original handles for the car were and I found 'em yesterday ! !

"getting badmouthed by some others"

NEVER by me! There's nothing cooler or more righteous than The Sinner. As you mentioned, too many restored 356's are mud buckets with new interiors, nice to see an honest ride.
