Vehicle Overview
Technical Specifications

1958 Porsche 356A 1600 T2 Speedster with hardtop Chassis number 84070 • Delivered new in the USA • Extensively restored between 2015 and 2017 (invoices available) • Includes rare factory hardtop • Tastefully modified for historic rallies In 1952, Porsche built a test series of 15 roadsters commissioned by the American importer Max Hoffman. Hoffman had convinced the German manufacturer of the potential of a 'cheap' entry-level model that would appeal to the North American market. The success of the roadsters in the USA led to the introduction of the Speedster in 1954; essentially an 'economy' model intended to compete with the cheaper British sports cars. Stripped of all superfluous luxury - even the heating was optional - the Speedster established a formidable position, both on public roads and in the emerging American sports car racing. The combination of style, performance, and value for money made the Speedster deservedly popular, and today this most beautiful of the 356 variants enjoys iconic status.
