RCH (Replicar Hellas, formerly Beetlekitcars) was founded in 2007 in Katerini, Greece, by Elias Gaganelis, and produces high-quality replicas, mostly of older Porsche models.[1][2][3] These include a variety of types based on the 356 Speedster, as well as the 550 Spyder, while models based on the Volkswagen Beetle have also been produced.[4][5][6] For several years, the cars could not be legally sold in Greece, with all produced cars exported, mostly to European countries (sales in Greece were only allowed since 2014).[7][8] In late 2016 the company introduced a Beach Buggy model of its own development.[9][10][11][12]
