Vehicle Description
1958 Porsche 356A Speedster
Completed on November 15, 1957
The 1958 Speedster type T2 is the most desirable, sought after and
drivable of all the Speedster from 1954 to 1958 with the ZF
steering box, high bow top frame, and better shifter position moved
closer to the driver. Finished in its original exterior color
Meissen Blue and the condition is simply stunning! The interior is
upholstered in full black leather, German black canvas soft-top and
boot cover, and oatmeal German square weave carpets. Very straight
body with excellent gaps & panel fit. The undercarriage is very
nicely detailed including the suspension, engine, and
transmission.
Mechanically it is in excellent condition. The engine is a
period-correct 1600cc SUPER that performs very well with plenty of
power. Manual 4-speed 644 transmission shifts through the gears
with ease. The drum brakes have been completely rebuilt with all
new wheel cylinders, brake lines, and master cylinder. Complete
with tools, owners manual, side curtains, and boot cover. Fully
sorted and ready to enjoy. Rare opportunity to find a T2 Speedster
in this condition at a reasonable price.

manual 644 transmission, independent front suspension with
