Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This is a 1960 Drauz-built Porsche 356B Roadster with the Super 90 engine, a desirable combination offering a balance of performance and comfort. It was restored in the UK, retaining its numbers-matching engine, and features a Silver Metallic exterior, greyish-brown leather interior, and mohair top.
Condition
8
The car has been restored, but the description mentions that it 'still presents beautifully' and is 'reported to perform equally well,' suggesting it's not in perfect, as-new condition. The level of detail in the restoration (original panels retained, brightwork restored, interior retrimmed) indicates a high-quality job, but the phrasing implies it's not flawless. Given that it's been Stateside for a few years post-restoration, it's reasonable to assume some minor wear may be present.

His vision for a lower cost, lighter Porsche to boost the marque's reputation in the burgeoning SCCA club racing scene was spot on.
Porsche responded with the 1954 Speedster which more than met Hoffman's expectations.
The Speedster put the 356 within reach of more American drivers so they could drive to the track, enjoy a day of competition, and drive home.
A proven success both on the track and in leaving Porsche dealers' showrooms,...
