The 356 Speedster has long occupied a small but perfectly formed
slot in the Porsche hall of fame. particularly in America where it
fused post-war Teutonic efficiency with Fifties glam Americana. It
was Porsche's US importer who suggested the idea; a simple. no
frills take on the then-current 356 model ideally suited to the sun
kissed environment of California. To market the car at a more
affordable price. Porsche stripped all unnecessary comforts from
within. fitted bucket seats and not much else. and gave it the bare
minimum of weather protection. The result was not only a
distinctive and hugely popular car. but also one that. thanks to
its keen power to weight ratio. was often to be found in minor
sports car races on the weekends. Jump forward a few decades and a
more up to date version appeared using the next legendary model
nomenclature. The 911 Speedster. a low-roof version of the
Cabriolet. was produced in limited numbers (2104) starting in
January 1989 until July 1989 as both a narrow body car and a
turbo-look.

This is a superb example of the rare and collectable wide bodied
3. 2 litre model finished in metallic Zermatt Silver with full
claret red leather. claret carpets and matching soft top. which was
replaced in 2010. This righthand drive. UK specification example. br/>comes with the five speed manual gearbox. 16" Fuchs alloy wheels. br/>stainless steel exhaust. electric sports seats and a Blaupunkt CD
stereo. Also included are a number of spare parts including some
new and some now unavailable factory parts. Supplied by HR Owen in
St Albans in 1998 with 7. 00 miles recorded. it has remained the
property of just one meticulous owner since and been serviced and
maintained annually by Porsche Mid-Sussex for the last 15
years. This 911 Speedster is supplied with a V5C registration
document and an MoT test certificate which expires in November
2014. The tool roll and space saver spare wheel are still present
and correct. In beautiful condition throughout. not to mention
being a fabulous driver's car. the speedster was produced in very
limited numbers and. with just 42 available in this specification. br/>opportunities to acquire a tangible and very useable asset that
will continue to appreciate is a rare commodity indeed.
