One of the most iconic sports car designs of all time is the Porsche 356 Speedster. Several companies have built accurate replicas over the years, utilizing the floorpan and running gear from the Volkswagen Beetle, not dissimilar to the original Porsche. With fibreglass bodies and many specially produced hardware items these make excellent replicas.

The early history of this car is unknown to its owner. Importantly, it is registered as a Roadster, meaning the appropriate approvals were sought for licensing the car, not merely carrying over registration from a Volkswagen donor car.

In 26 years of current ownership, the car has provided a lot of fun. It has been the subject of several upgrades over the years.

The Speedster was treated to a new 1700cc engine in 2004. Fitted with twin Weber carburettors and a sports exhaust, it boosted performance of the Speedster.

The car was repainted in a high quality finish. The colour suits the car well, being subtle enough to show off the curvaceous styling well. New leather upholstery was fitted, with a new soft top and carpets.

Two years ago the car had major servicing work undertaken, when the carburettors were rebuilt and a new clutch installed.

This little sports car presents well. It’s not a trailer queen, but a sound, tidy and smartly presented example.

It starts immediately and drives well, exhibiting the 1950s sporting characteristics the Speedster is renowned for. The combination of sporty engine sound, low driving position and open cabin give a feeling of performance and speed beyond reality! Great fun.

This car offers a great experience and an accessible price point. A well-loved example, thoughtfully upgraded, this Speedster is sure to offer the next owner years of fun.
