HISTORY/OVERVIEW
The Porsche 356A Speedster is one of the most iconic variants of Porsche’s classic air-cooled sports car, designed for the American market with reduced equipment, a low windscreen and pure motorsport flair. This Speedster from the 1958 model year was imported to Europe in 2008 and remained in Denmark until 2014. It subsequently came into the possession of a German collector who commissioned a comprehensive overhaul in 2020 valued at over €32,000. The vehicle was acquired in 2026 and is now offered in Germany.
EXTERIOR
The Speedster presents itself in the body color Silver Metallic. As part of the work, European headlights were installed. The vehicle is equipped with a black fabric top and removable side windows. It rides on rare, ventilated 15-inch aluminum wheels that were installed in 2020 and fitted with Vredestein tires.
INTERIOR
The cabin is trimmed in red leather and features the model’s characteristic bucket seats with fixed backs. In 2020, the interior was newly padded and the carpeting was fully renewed. In addition, the electrical system was serviced.
MECHANICS
Power is supplied by a 1.6-liter four-cylinder replacement engine with an unstamped engine housing. The engine received a comprehensive service in 2020. The fuel system was renewed, including a new fuel cock and new fuel hoses. The exhaust system, including heat exchangers, heating valves and heating cables, was also replaced. Additionally, the drum brakes were overhauled, fresh oil changes (engine and transmission) were performed, and the suspension was serviced.
PAPERS
The vehicle is delivered with German TÜV documents, German registration papers and a Florida Title. Comprehensive documentation of the 2020 work is also available.
The vehicle can be viewed and collected in Germany. It is recommended to inspect the vehicle before bidding. Transport, registration, or export documentation costs are the buyer’s responsibility.

Catawiki always aims to offer you the best possible buying experience. Our experts virtually review and select every vehicle in line with our submission guidelines and we require our sellers to provide the most accurate description of the vehicle. However, providing a fully detailed analysis of the vehicle is extremely difficult, and close to impossible. To guide you, we ask our sellers to provide information about the vehicle’s condition. Please consider that most vehicles for sale are classic vehicles and they often already have a whole life behind them, meaning that even a condition 1 or 2 vehicle might need maintenance to be ready for the road. It is advised to carefully read our submission guidelines that further describe details about the condition grades and types to manage your expectations. Cars are sold “as is”, meaning as described and in the condition they are in at the time of the sale and without any representation, warranty or assumption of liability of any kind as to the condition by Catawiki or by the seller. The condition of this item is the opinion of the seller and may differ from yours, your local garage, or the dealer’s opinion. This does not automatically mean the car does not conform to its description. Before bidding, please check your local legislation regarding vehicle registration. Neither the seller nor Catawiki is responsible for the registration of the vehicle in your country and will not accept a cancellation for your failure to register the vehicle. We also recommend that, if possible, you arrange a viewing with the seller before placing a bid.
