To celebrate both the 25th anniversary of the 911 and the final
year of the beloved G-Model, Porsche unveiled the
limited-production 1989 911 Speedster-a striking tribute to the
original 356 Speedster and a bold statement in its own right. First
previewed as the Speedster Studie at the 1987 Frankfurt Motor Show,
the production version retained the concept's raked wraparound
windshield, double-hump clamshell tonneau cover, and exciting
minimalistic character. Though based on the Carrera 3.2, most
Speedsters were constructed using the Turbo's wider bodywork,
giving the car an aggressive stance accentuated by 16-inch Fuchs
forged alloy wheels. Power came from Porsche's 3.2-liter air-cooled
flat-six, mated to the refined G50 five-speed manual transmission
delivering a visceral top-down driving experience. Chief designer
Tony Lapine ensured the styling carried cues from the 356 while
remaining true to the modern 911 form.
Produced in June of 1989 and originally sold at Auto Hamer Porsche
of Montreal, Canada, the VINAnalytics Report for this Triple Black
911 Speedster reveals it was optioned with a raised hub steering
wheel, short shifter, heavy-duty windshield cleaner, and air
conditioning. Well-known exotic car dealer John Scotti acquired the
car just a year later in 1990 with approximately 300 kilometers on
the odometer. During Scotti's 19-year ownership the car remained in
a highly preserved state with just 528 kilometers or 328 miles
added by the time of the third owner's acquisition in January
2009.
That third owner was none other than noted Porsche collector and
comedian Jerry Seinfeld. Seinfeld is well-known for a Porsche
collection that begins with the earliest production models built in
Gm�nd, Austria, spanning to the latest limited-production models.
For the Porsches Seinfeld didn't order directly from the factory,
only the finest examples would suffice-and this 1989 911 Speedster
was no exception. It is expected that Seinfeld was smitten with the
car's high degree of originality when found retaining its generous
coating of factory-applied undercarriage Cosmoline and still
resting on its original BF Goodrich Comp T/A tires. Its clean
CARFAX Vehicle History Report shows that Seinfeld retained the
Speedster for 14 years, adding an additional 1,729 miles to the
total. During his ownership the car visited Beverly Hills Porsche
for servicing and prior to it leaving his collection it received a
$2,733 service that included an engine oil change, new fuel and air
filters, a new windshield washer pump, a brake fluid flush, new
brake lines, and a new engine insulation sound pad. Additionally,
the car received a fresh set of Bridgestone Potenza Sport tires
with receipts on file for the aforementioned work.
Acquired by the consignor directly from Seinfeld in November 2023,
the limited-production 911 left California for the first time since
2009 joining a collection of collectible performance cars. In that
time, just 202 kilometers have been added to the odometer, and as a
result, it remains in the same exceptional condition as preserved
by both Scotti and Seinfeld since 1990. This Speedster includes its
toolkit, jack, tire inflator, owner's manual and rare Speedster
supplement in wallet, and service records from Seinfeld's time with
the car. Offered for just a single model year, the 1989 Speedster
remains one of the most collectible and visually distinctive 911s
ever produced-with this ex-Seinfeld owned and driven example surely
one of the best preserved of its type.
