Description:
Maxie Hoffman, the most successful Porsche salesman in the USA, had the idea of bringing a light, open and particularly sporty version of the 356 to America in 1952 and had the "American Roadster" developed. Hoffman was only able to sell 24 units with its aluminium body. It was not until the "Speed-ster" was made of sheet steel that production became cheaper and sales increased. The "Speedster" was made for the rich youth of Los Angeles and Malibu and quickly became the toy of Hollywood stars. Ever since James Dean drove the Speed-ster, the most purist of all Porsches became an icon of the Zuffenhausen sports car brand.
4144 Speedsters were produced between 1954 and 1958.
According to the available Porsche data sheet, this 356 A 1600 Speedster was manufactured in the 1957 model year for export to Japan.The car has been in the possession of a Porsche collector in Wiesbaden, Germany, for many years. Under his direction, he had the Speedster restored on a well-preserved original basis. The engine was replaced early on with a later 1600cc engine. Overall, the Porsche is in very good condition and drives exceptionally well. A valuation report for 290,000 euros is available.
Engine: 1.6 litre 4 cyl. boxer engine, 75 hp (factory specification)
