KEY FACTS A rare and sought-after early Porsche sports car, this 356 Pre-A Speedster is an evocative open-top classic, which reportedly benefits from an extensive historic restoration.

It is powered by a type-correct 1.5-litre naturally aspirated air-cooled flat-four, driving the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transmission.

According to the Porsche ‘Geburtsurkunde’ (birth certificate), both the engine and gearbox were replaced at some point in the car’s history with type-correct units.

Originally delivered to the US, it was later imported to Germany, where it has reportedly had just one owner since 1991.
