356 Speedster (1958)
It's been a week of Porsche bookends for me. I have taken delivery of my first electric Porsche (Taycan Turbo S) and gone right back to the origins by identifying a 356 Speedster in California to bring back to the UK. More on the Taycan in the appropriate thread in due course once I have had enough seat time in it. Here are some photos of the Speedster from the consultant who identified the car and went to inspect it. It's going to be an exciting journey getting the car shipped here ( 8 to 12 weeks or so) and then deciding how to get it in tip top condition once it is here ( won't need much as it is in great shape already and importantly with a matching numbers engine and chassis).
I prefer the earlier pre A models without the big US bumpers but this is a great place to start my 356 journey. Getting pre A's with matching numbers engine, chassis, and body panels is far from easy and even more expensive!
. In the meantime I have bought an even more beautiful 1956 one without the US bumper overriders in white with red leather that is already fully restored to concours standard 
. Photos in due course.
