As buyers' taste changed, the 356 B T5 Roadster was the direct
replacement of the Porsche 356 A Convertible D, which itself
replaced the iconic Porsche 356 Speedster, and was the second
convertible variant of the Porsche 356 B T5. Distinguished by clean
rakish-looks, these Roadsters have a very sporting aesthetic feel
to match - still in keeping with the Speedster ethos. The Roadster
body shell features altered shapes to the cowl, rear quarters and
beltline from that of the contemporary Cabriolet. A smaller
windscreen, simplified dash, and lack of rear seats make for a much
more driver focused experience.
88423 was completed at the Porsche factory in Super 90 tune and
originally slotted for North American delivery. Eventually, the 356
was imported to the United Kingdom, where it would receive a
complete 'nut-and-bolt' restoration by marque specialists, while
it's said to retain the majority of its original body and original
matching-numbers Super 90 engine.
Now Stateside for the past few years, this charming 356B Super 90
Roadster presents and performs beautifully. The car has been
immensely well received at Houston Coffee and Cars Porsche Day, as
well as sprints around the area. An excellent opportunity to enjoy
the 356 experience in its purest form.
