Porsche 356 Speedster 1954-1958

Not much has to be said about the "fast beetle", the Porsche 356.
An absolute cult car, until today and in all eternity!

There are quite a few - and yet the market is small and prices have been high and higher for thirty years. Money is better invested in a Porsche 356 than in so-called “financial products”!

Anyone who owns a 356 usually keeps it a long time. In that sense it is a family car - because it's part of it.

Interestingly, the companies that focus on the 356 and that we work with together are among our most loyal customers.

There is a pretty big type diversification. We have not been able to sample everything for over three decades - but almost everything.

With regard to the value retention of the respective 356er, the original restoration has priority. Of course, this also applies to the soft top.

The 1954 to 1958 built 356 Speedster differ on the one hand in versions with flat and high main bow ("low-bow"/"high-bow"). Also varies the size of the rear window. Three windows in the rear part are more likely an invention of the replica manufacturer such as APAL / Scheib etc.

Technically, no problem, but visually we consider it inharmonious and questionable, as far as the originality is concerned. It should be refrained from this.
A special feature of the Speedster are the blanks. Most of these must also be covered during a soft top renewal. The frames themselves were not a problem on a regular basis.

The large boot cover is mandatory at a Speedster. Folded down behind the seats, it is at the same time cover and conveniently covers the backspace inwards.

We manufacture this large cover for the Speedster outwards slightly enlarged, because the original cuts on the one hand regularly cover incorrectly and, moreover, the handling is improved at our version.

It avoids that outwardly scarce fittings kill the fingernails.

About Classic Cars

To simply get from one point to another, nowadays no one needs a classic car.

But the happiness you feel driving a classic car comes close to the Far Eastern wisdom "The journey is the destination". Suddenly you see smiling people wherever you go who want to talk about former times, landscapes suddenly have a well known smell again, courteous road users and friendly people everywhere...

The participate in various specific oldtimer events is hereby highly recommended - it doesn’t necessarily have to be Mille Miglia. These events / rallies have developed enormously over the last few years and truly offer the participants the greatest enjoyment.

Dealing with oldtimers on a professional basis - the replacement of convertible tops - has brought me in touch with a lot of different cars and different customers within the last thirty years - during a time in which the perception of oldtimers has changed significantly.
