Vehicle Description
In classic Guards Red over Tan this wide-bodied Speedster is a nice
fit for that late model Speedster collection. With only 2600 on the
odometer over 30 years, the Speedster has been a well-kept and
maintained example. Accident free the paint remains in great shape
as you would expect, and the interior showing very little signs of
wear you typically see. Not our top choice to race your buddies,
but a great Speedster candidate for that open two-seater 911
experience.
Soon after taking over as CEO post Ernst Fuhrmann in '81, Peter
Schutz called Helmuth Bott into his Weissach office (Bott most
known for his involvement with the 959). Their discussion a dream
car of Bott's, he recalling his early years beginning as a factory
assistant in Zuffenhausen in the early '50s. It took 8 years to
come to fruition, but resurrecting the Speedster badge on a 911 for
the first time. A celebration 30 years later of the iconic
two-seater sporting its lower less degreed windscreen, and most
notably the fiberglass tonneau cover resembling the previous 356
Speedsters from 1958/59. The '89 Speedster gained from years of
technology and innovation, but kept its namesake and sprung from
the same philosophy. The core belief that the car be an extension
of the driver, and the driving experience be top priority.
