When US-based Porsche importer Max Hoffman suggested a lightweight,
low-cost variant of the Speedster, it is easy to imagine Porsche
executives were skeptical. However, their decision to appease his
request quickly bore fruit - not only did it invigorate sales of
its more expensive siblings, the car quickly became an icon of
fifties style and still sets the tone for special body styles of
Porsche models to this day. With a focus on simplicity, Speedsters
were crafted with removable low-cut windshields, fully integrated
dashboards, and side-curtain windows - making them easy to
differentiate from the standard Cabriolets.
Naturally, such an iconic automobile has spurred numerous companies
to create replicas. Many of these are essentially impossible for
all but the most dedicated Porsche enthusiasts to tell from an
original and often offer superior performance thanks to even less
weight and increased power. Combined with the fact replicas cost
only a fraction of that of an original (genuine Speedsters
routinely sell for well over $300,000), these represent the best
way for enthusiasts to enjoy Speedster ownership.
The superb 1957 Porsche 356 Speedster Recreation featured here is
finished in attractive Signal Red over Tan leather with a Black
folding convertible top. This exquisite Speedster replica was built
by a renowned coachbuilder, Classic Motor Carriages, to a high
standard and is extremely difficult to tell from an original. This
particular car was fitted with an upgraded 1.9: Flat-4 with dual
Weber carburetors, disc brakes, ventilated chrome wheels, and a
leather interior, ensuring that this turn-key Speedster replica
drives as incredible as it looks. We are proud to offer this
incredible 356 Speedster recreation to the most particular
collector, investor, or enthusiast who aspires to own one of the
very best at a cost significantly lower than that of an
original!
