Vehicle Description
1958 Porsche 356A T2 Speedster
One of the most desirable collector models is the 356 "Speedster", introduced in late 1954 after Max Hoffman advised the company that a lower-cost, somewhat spartan open-top version could sell well in the American market. With its low, raked windscreen (which could be removed for weekend racing), bucket seats and minimal folding top, the Speedster was an instant hit, especially in Southern California.
European Collectibles did an exquisite restoration on this 1958 Speedster over a 16-month period from 2014 to 2015. During the restoration this 356 was completely disassembled so that every aspect could be properly addressed. One of only 1,129 T-2 Speedster built. This 356 features all of the subtle improvements and updated details fitted to the Speedster over the brief four-year production run. 1600cc normal 60 horse power engine with 644 manual 4-speed transmission and four wheel drum brakes. Offered with tools, books, side curtains, boot cover and Certificate of Authenticity from Porsche confirming matching decks, doors and drive-line. Truly one of the best 1958 Speedsters that you will find with no issues. Everything has been done, finished in a beautiful period correct color combination and a dream to drive!
