Porsche has the Speedster to thank for their success in the United States.Without this little convertible, t could be argued that Porsche sales might not have ever taken off in the fiercely competitive U.S. market. The car’s low-slung and focused looks appealed to sports car enthusiasts and its price of just under $3,000 definitely helped to get Speedsters off the showroom floors and out onto the open road. Boasting few creature comforts but excellent driving characteristics, t helped cement Porsche’s reputation in the United States and earned it a hugely desirable portion of the sports car market at a time when the motto of most British marques was “export or die.”

Excellent solid and rust free example. Very nice turn key driver. Mechanically tuned and ready to drive anywhere! 1600cc normal engine, 44 manual 4-speed transmission and four wheel drum brake system. This has been what many clients have been looking for, Speedster that they can drive and not worry about. If you have been looking for a good honest Speedster this is one to consider. Truly getting harder and harder to find.

The Speedster holds a special place in Porsche history, ot only as a sales success but also as an icon of minimalist automotive design. It remains a beloved vehicle today, nd a well-restored and properly maintained Speedster, uch as this example, s on the wish list of nearly every car enthusiast the world over. This status has also contributed to a meteoric rise in desirability for these cars, s they lead the charge for all 356s and 911s that are gaining momentum in the market place. Simply put, o important collection would be complete without a proper Speedster, s it is an equal in automotive design and history as the California Spider and 300 SL, ut it further benefits from practicality and ease of use, hich make it as perfect for running errands as handling twisty mountain roads. Motoring enthusiasts new to the classic car world are well served to acquire a “blue chip” Porsche such as this.
