After its introduction in late 1954, the Porsche 356 A Speedster continued life in the 356 A generation as a stripped-down, low-cost, sports-oriented, convertible Porsche 356. It had a cut-down windshield that could easily be removed, a lightweight removable top, and side curtains instead of roll-up windows featured in the 356 A Cabriolet. It could be had with any of the engine options offered for the 356 A generation (a limited number were made with the Carrera engine). Popular in the United States for use in racing and sports car events, the Speedster became possibly the most iconic version of the 356. Total production is estimated at 3,944 cars between 1955 and mid-1959 when it was replaced by the Porsche 356 A Convertible D.
Refinished circa 2006, and featuring a single owner since 2012. Over $41,000.00 in service work was completed from 2012 onward, including a complete rebuild of the period correct 1600S engine and numbers matching transaxle. Finished in the timeless factory Aquamarine paint over a red leather interior, with dark blue soft top and tonneau cover. Fantastic example of the final year of production for the 356A Speedster! Those looking for a vintage rally ready Speedster should look no further than this example presented.
