The 356 Convertible D was the direct descendant of the 356 Speedster, keeping its overall shape but adding some comfort features such as a taller windscreen and wind-up windows.

Like its predecessor, it was aimed primarily at the North American market, and this was indeed the destination of the car we are presenting.

It left the factory in May 1959 and was delivered direct to Max Hoffman, the Porsche importer in New York.

This is mentioned in its build card, which also notes the fitment of US bumpers.

We also have a Certificate of Title from 1972, in the name of James Clark, in Arizona; this was cancelled in 1994 when the car was imported into Germany.

It remained there until 2015, when it was bought by Staffan Wittmark, who had it sent to Sweden.
