Description

This is a classic example of something we see a lot here in the shop. This 1958 Porsche 356A Speedster was at another shop for a VERY long time. The work dragged and wasn't very good. The customer took it from them, and brought it to us. Our classic Porsche restoration experience means that we finish a lot of other shop's work.

The Porsche Speedster iis an iconic sports car celebrated for its timeless design and thrilling performance. Featuring a lightweight body and a convertible top, it exudes classic charm and driving excitement. Under the rear hood lies an air-cooled, horizontally opposed, 1.6 liter boxer four-cylinder engine. In its standard form, this powerplant produces around 60 horsepower, propelling the Speedster to exhilarating speeds with its light weight and exceptional handling.

We are currently assembling all the parts and finding out exactly what is still needed. Fresh paint on top and a beautiful undercarriage makes the work fun. We will be getting all of the mechanical aspects sorted, and moving forward - hand in hand with the customer.
