The Covin is a kit car replica of the Porsche 911 Turbo created by Tim Cook and Nick Vincent in the early 1980s. The name Covin came from CO (Cook) and VIN (Vincent) to produce COVIN Performance Mouldings. Early models of the Covin were based on a shortened Beetle floorplan/running gear but later used its own Covin chassis and VW Type 3 running gear.
