One of the most expensive automobiles at the time of its unveiling, 300 SL Roadsters found their way into the homes of titans of industry, Hollywood starlets, and decorated racing drivers, showcasing its broad desirability and usability. Decades later, that desirability and usability has never wavered, and the 300 SL Roadster is considered a true, blue-chip collector car, a car that is instantly recognizable wherever it goes and one that is more than capable of handling cross-continent journeys on modern roads. The 300 SL Roadster on offer here is an extraordinary example, produced in the second full year of Roadster production, and boasting a fascinating history alongside a concours-quality restoration. According to a copy of its factory build sheet, chassis no. 8500299 was originally built in Silver (DB 180) over a Red (1079) leather interior with a black soft top. Interestingly enough, the car was noted to be delivered in Paris, yet equipped in specification for the US market. Furthermore, it was outfitted with chrome wheels, a Becker Mexico radio, and a hardtop. While its earliest years are unknown, the car was imported to the U.K. in 1962, where it has remained ever since. The 300 SL’s first owner in the UK was David Scott Lowe of Edinburgh, Scotland. Interestingly, Lowe would retain the car for nearly thirty-three years, before selling to Richard Graham McIlhagga, reportedly a close friend, who lived about 4.5 miles away from Lowe on the western outskirts of Edinburgh. After he kept the car for approximately twelve years, the car was sold back to Lowe in 2006, who retained it until his passing in 2011. At the time of Mr. Lowe’s passing, the 300 SL was willed to Lowe’s partner, Mrs. Rizalina Thain. Upon his passing, she elected to sell the car, which was in need of a restoration, having been in storage for a number of years, yet still in its original colours scheme and wearing its first UK registration number of 3 DXC. The 300 SL Roadster was then acquired by the current owner, who decided to embark on a full restoration to concours standards. Immediately following his purchase, he employed John Haynes Auto Technics, Mercedes-Benz specialists based in West Sussex, to perform an inspection of the car to fully assess and catalogue its condition prior to the restoration. At this time, the car was showing just 13,581 miles on its odometer. It was later decided that the car would be shipped to Germany to be restored in its home country by Kienle Automobiltechnik. At the time, Kienle was known as one of the world’s foremost experts in restoring 300 SLs and considered by many to be the go-to restoration facility for 300 SLs in all of Europe. It is no exaggeration to say that no stone was left unturned in returning this 300 SL Roadster to concours quality. Restoration work started in 2015 and the car was stripped back to bare metal and fully disassembled to assess its condition. The engine (a replacement unit with block dated February 1957) was fully rebuilt alongside the transmission (also a replacement unit) and all other mechanical aspects of the car. Importantly, the body, rear axle, front kingpins, and steering box were found to be original to the car. It was decided that the car would be returned to its original colours (albeit with a contrasting grey DB 190 G hard top) with a handful of Kienle-engineered upgrades to be fitted in an effort to improve its overall drivability and usability. This included fitting a heavy-duty generator (45 amps instead of 28 amps), an improved electric ignition system, improved fuel injection pump, a moder diaphragm spring clutch, a rebuilt air filter, converting the front brakes to discs in place of the original drums, an isolated circuit breaker for the battery, Bosch H4 headlights (said to be a huge improvement over the original Bilux lights), additional heat shielding over the exhaust, an auxiliary engine bay fan, and improved Koni shock absorbers and springs. By the time the restoration was completed in 2019, invoices totaled over €700,000. Since the restoration, the car has been driven minimally but very well kept and maintained, with service work undertaken by John Haynes in June of 2023. More recently, an inspection was undertaken by 300 SL specialist Martin Cushway in February 2024 and the car was found to be in both excellent mechanical and cosmetic condition throughout. It has been driven just under 3,000 miles since the completion of the restoration, and is surely ready to continue to be driven and enjoyed as a brilliant specimen of one of Mercedes-Benz’s most iconic cars by its fortunate next owner.

SH ID 24-0506006 FEATURED BY SPEEDHOLICS In Stock United Kingdom Dealer SEARCH OTHER CARS COMMENT ON FACEBOOK This Car Contact the Dealer I am Interested Legal & Copyright Engine number 9537 Gearbox number 141/I Fully restored by Hoyle-Fox Classics, completed in 2016 Ferrari Classiche Certified, retains its original chassis, engine, and gearbox Delivered new to Rome, presently UK-registered An ideal Ferrari for cross-channel adventures or concours events Description THE GENTLEMAN’S FERRARI What is a gentleman’s Ferrari? It is a car that is not about outright performance, but rather a Ferrari that combines stunning performance bred through success in motorsport, alongside luxury and sophistication; a car tractable enough to use for extended journeys, on a daily basis, or on a special occasion. Perhaps most importantly, this is a car that does all of this, but also does not shout about its presence. Simply put, the gentleman’s Ferrari is a grand tourer par excellence. It is a car that is known to those that know, and one that blends in with traffic to everyone else. To the cognoscenti, the epitome of the gentleman’s Ferrari is the 330 GTC. Slotting in between the four-seat 330 GT 2+2 and Ferrari’s then-flagship 275 GTB, it combined the aspects of both cars to make for an exceptional driving experience. Utilizing the same steering, suspension, and transmission as the 275 GTB, at its heart was a 4.0-litre V-12 engine, good for transporting the 330 GTC to 60 mph from a standstill in seven seconds and onwards to a top speed of 150 mph. As the 330 GTC was a two-seater, its wheelbase was shorted by 10 inches over the 330 GT 2+2, making it much more dynamic to drive yet still entirely practical for two passengers, with copious boot space and a rear parcel shelf behind the seats. Completed in early 1967, this 330 GTC, chassis number 09537, was originally finished in the suitably subtle colour scheme of Marrone (19378 M) paintwork over a Beige (VM 3218) Connolly leather interior. Destined for Ferrari’s home market, the car was originally delivered to a Mr. Pirri of Rome through Motor S.a.s. By 1970, the car was exported to the US where it was sold to Steve Lawing of High Point, North Carolina in 1971. Ludwig kept the car for the following four years, during which he advertised the car for sale in the January 1975 issue of Road & Track magazine, describing it as “mink brown with a champagne interior…exceptionally nice and often mistaken for brand new”, having been driven for some 27,000 miles at that point. Chassis number 09537 would move north with its next owner, William R. Johnson of Upper Marlboro, Maryland. Passing through another owner in Maryland, its next owner would be Louis Baldwin of Wilmington, Delaware, who retained the car for the following fifteen years, which included a move across the country to San Jose, California. The 330 GTC finally returned across the pond in the mid-2000s, still finished in its original colour scheme. Having spent several years in Italy, by 2011 the car was purchased by an owner in the UK and subsequently road-registered. That owner decided to undertake a full restoration with Hoyle-Fox Classics in Essex. With work starting in late 2013, the car was stripped down to bare metal and restored in its present and highly attractive colour scheme of Blue Sera over a Pelle Grigio leather interior. During the restoration, the car was fitted with air conditioning, an option available when new but one that was not originally fitted to chassis 09537, but which was clearly a very welcome addition for warm weather motoring. When the restoration work was completed in 2016, the car was granted Ferrari Classiche certification, confirming that the car retains its original chassis, engine, and gearbox. In the car’s history file are invoices for the restoration work and correspondence between its then-owner and Hoyle-Fox Classics chronicling the restoration. Just 598 330 GTCs were built from 1966 to 1968, and today they are still excellent cars to use and enjoy, with copious performance more than capable of handling modern day traffic. Well-preserved in its as-restored state with the current owner, this 330 GTC presents beautifully throughout, having covered minimal milage since its restoration. Restored in a very attractive colour scheme and boasting Ferrari Classiche certification, this 330 GTC needs nothing but a new owner willing to experience the ideal gentleman’s Ferrari at its best.

With recent servicing, 0153 is at the top of its game - eagerly awaiting to devour open stretches of highway or winding country back roads. In the mid-eighties Honda engineers were experimenting with various engine and chassis layouts in an effort to explore viability for future products. One such experiment saw the Honda engineers take a Honda City, cut it in half, and install the engine behind the driver's seat. Much to the delight of the engineers, after an extensive number of thrilling laps around the parking lot, this unsuspecting test mule led to inspiring the Honda board to decide that they would create a pure sports car, and thus the beginning of the NSX was born. Honda would consort with automotive design legends Pininfarina to create a concept car called the Honda Pininfarina Experimental, referred to as HP-X, showcasing Honda’s foray into the mid-engine sports car world. Management at Honda provided lofty goals for the engineering team, simply requesting that this new sports car would need to be as fast as anything from their German and Italian competitors, while offering Honda reliability and a highly competitive price. With this direction, work began on evolving the HP-X concept car into a working prototype that would be referred to as NS-X, standing for “New Sportscar Experimental”, with an intention to showcase numerous automotive technologies that Honda derived from its wealth of knowledge in the Formula 1 world. The backbone of success for the NSX would lie in its all-aluminum semi-monocoque, a first for a production car, incorporating a revolutionary extruded aluminum alloy frame and suspension components saving a significant 441lbs over traditional steel construction. Nestled in the middle of the car, just behind the driver and passenger seats, would be the heart of the NSX - Honda’s brand new C30A engine, a 3.0 liter V6 debuting their brand-new proprietary VTEC variable valve timing system. The chassis and powertrain isn’t where the motorsport connection stopped. Honda further leaned on their robust motorsports division to aid in developing the NSX into a truly capable track weapon, leveraging the successful hands of 3x Formula 1 World Drivers Champion Ayrton Senna and highly respected Formula 1 driver Satoru Nakajima, with both working tirelessly to fine tune chassis stiffness and suspension characteristics through seemingly endless test sessions at the Suzuka Circuit and the Nurburgring. The end product of this painstakingly thorough test and tuning regime was a chassis stiffness increase of over 50%, while retaining a near minimal impact to overall weight and the cars handling capabilities. Released to the public in 1991, the NSX was an immediate sensation with enthusiasts and journalists alike. Car & Driver, after extensive testing, noted “the low, forward, cockpit is exhilarating… like riding in the head of an arrow” and of the car’s responsiveness stated, “it's so precise in its responses, as if it were hard-wired into my cerebellum." Despite the NSX being well received, Honda engineers had to make compromises to meet a healthy balance between daily driveability and raw performance. It was decided that for those customers seeking a truly no-bars-hold racing experience, Honda unleashed to the world in late 1992 the revered NSX Type-R. Honda engineers began the NSX Type-R development by putting the already svelte NSX on an extremely aggressive diet to aid in weight savings. Sound deadening, the audio system, spare tire, air conditioning system and traction control, along with some of the electrical equipment, were completely removed, while the heavy leather electric seats were replaced with fixed back carbon-kevlar racing seats from Recaro designed specifically for Honda. To reduce unsprung weight, Honda chose to replace the standard forged alloy wheels with lightweight forged aluminum wheels from Enkei. This extreme approach to weight savings saw the NSX Type-R weighing in at an astonishing 265lbs lighter than its standard NSX sibling, for a total weight of 2,710lbs. Changes didn’t merely stop with weight, however. Honda’s suspension engineers focused on fine tuning the suspension setup to prevent sudden oversteer during high speed cornering, which was extremely rare during normal driving conditions but was more prevalent on track. To remedy this, engineers added one aluminum bracket under the front battery tray, and added one bracket in front of the front radiator to increase chassis rigidity. The entire suspension system was discarded and replaced with a more track oriented unit, featuring a stiffer front sway bar, suspension bushings, coil springs and dampers. Additional changes to the car would see the final drive ratio revised to aid in quicker gear changes, and installation of a higher locking limited slip differential. Meanwhile, the C30A engine would receive additional motorsport love with a blueprinted and balanced crankshaft assembly, utilizing techniques carried over from Honda’s racing car engine build process. The reengineering of the NSX into the NSX Type-R resulted in a highly capable track oriented weapon that would be able to keep up with the best of the best from traditional super car marques of the day - all while being financially accessible, and carrying Honda’s legendary reliability characteristics, making for an incredibly alluring package. From 1992 through 1995, Honda would only produce 483 NSX Type-R variants, all of which were sold exclusively to the Japanese domestic market, making the NSX Type-R one of the most sought after and desirable Honda’s to date.

SH ID 24-0506005 FEATURED BY SPEEDHOLICS In Stock United Kingdom Dealer SEARCH OTHER CARS COMMENT ON FACEBOOK This Car Contact the Dealer I am Interested Legal & Copyright Unique 16th example of the 350 Lussos produced between 1962 and 1964 Early coachwork modifications by Fantuzzi in the style of the 330 LMB Originally delivered to Luciano Pederzani, joint-founder of the Tecno Formula 1 team Comprehensive restoration carried out by DK Engineering in 2011 Previously owned by radio and TV broadcaster Chris Evans Documented history by marque historian Marcel Massini Description Sitting between Ferrari’s more overtly sporting models and its larger luxury cars, the 250 GT/L Berlinetta—often referred to as the “Lusso”, which is Italian for luxury—was the last road-going derivative from the marque’s celebrated, long-running 250 GT series. Unveiled as a prototype at the Paris Motor Show in 1962, the stunning steel-bodied coupé remained in production until late-1964. Most featured now-classic Pininfarina designs that were built by Scaglietti, before being finished at the Ferrari factory. While the Lusso earned some competition success, with a privateer car notably placing 13th overall in the 1964 running of the Targa Florio endurance road race, it was primarily conceived—and enjoyed best of all—as a fast and luxurious road car. The powertrain came in the form of the well-proven 2,953 cc Colombo V-12, with a single overhead camshaft per cylinder bank, mated to a four-speed, all-synchromesh gearbox. Tuned more for road use versus other Ferrari 250 models, the wet-sump unit—equipped with three twin-choke Weber carburettors—was still particularly potent. One of the most powerful production cars of the time, with 240 brake horsepower served at 7,500 rpm, it was enough to propel the Lusso to a top speed just shy of 150 mph. Yet it’s not the performance credentials alone that ensure the Lusso is still revered to this day. Widely regarded as one of the most elegant shapes ever to wear the Prancing Horse badge, this model was epitomised by its elegant, sweeping lines and curved rear screen that ultimately flowed into the fastback “Kamm” tail finish. At the front, early cars left Maranello sporting the low egg crate-style front grille—similar to that of its 250 GT SWB Berlinetta predecessor. This example, chassis 4383, was the 16th of the 350 Lussos constructed. According to the records of marque historian Marcel Massini, the car was completed by the factory on 20 March 1963. Originally painted in Grigio Argento over a Nero Connolly leather interior, it was supplied to Ferrari’s official dealer, Società Italiana Veicoli Agriculturali e Motori, in Bologna on 4 April. Five days later, the car was sold for the princely sum of 5,750,000 Italian lire to first owner, Luciano Pederzani. He and his brother Gianfranco had, only two years previously, co-founded the Tecno Racing Team. Originally building racing karts, during Luciano’s ownership of the Lusso, the outfit would establish itself as a successful manufacturer of Formula 3 cars, purportedly winning 32 out of 65 races during the 1967 season. The first of these victories was earned by future Ferrari Formula 1 race winner Clay Regazzoni. During this time, chassis 4383 was maintained by the Ferrari factory’s Assistenza Clienti in Modena. By February of 1964, the Ferrari was registered on the Italian targa “BO 179199”. Thereafter, the car would begin to evolve from its original specification to become the unique example that it is today. Firstly, in around 1965, a later 250 GT Lusso engine (5193 GT) was installed. Then, Pederzani went to the person styling his Tecno creations and asked him to partially rebody his road car. Former Ferrari race car designer Medardo Fantuzzi, based in Modena, modified the coachwork to more resemble that of the 330 LMB competition model. This included adopting a smaller, rounded grille, switching to two (rather than three) bumperettes, plus setting the headlights further back in the wings, and fairing them in with Plexiglass covers. This Lusso was exported to New York City, USA in 1968, and sold again five years later, remaining in the state. In 1976, its new Texas-based owner commissioned the addition of three 250 GTO-style intakes above the front grille, plus vents behind the rear wheel arches inspired by the same model, and repainted the car to red. The following year, new ownership led this example to be shipped to Honolulu after which it spent the following 28 years in Hawaii, changing hands four times. In 2005, the Lusso returned to mainland America, the new San Francisco-based keeper displaying it at Monterey Car Week that year, before returning for the following two editions. In 2011, chassis 4383 was sent to the UK for a full restoration at DK Engineering. Completed to a concours standard, 250 GTO moulds and drawings were precisely scaled to authentically finish the one-off bodywork. This car then returned to DK Engineering the year after for a mechanical rebuild, and to be finished in its present classic Ferrari red over tan interior. It was subsequently displayed at Walton Hall for the Ferrari Owners’ Club GB annual meeting in 2013, before being sold to radio and TV broadcaster Chris Evans, an avid collector of the marque. Through JD Classics, the Lusso was then bought by its consigning owner. Its most recent keeper has enjoyed the car at shows and events; in 2015 it was displayed on the Cartier Style et Luxe concours lawn at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, and it later appeared as part of the “Seeing Red” tribute to Ferrari in the Earls Court Motor Show recreation at Goodwood Revival. The Ferrari has since been maintained by GTO Engineering, with many invoices available to view on file. Chassis 4383 boasts a compelling continuous history that not only includes a significant player in 1960s single seater racing as its original keeper, but more recent custodianship by Evans, one of the UK’s best-known media personalities. The car’s early bodywork adaptions by Fantuzzi make this 250 GT/L Berlinetta, a model which is already a particularly rare and special, a truly unique ownership proposition.

SH ID 24-0506024 FEATURED BY SPEEDHOLICS In Stock United Kingdom Dealer SEARCH OTHER CARS COMMENT ON FACEBOOK This Car Contact the Dealer I am Interested Legal & Copyright A Genuine Weissach Built Factory Race Car Campaigned By The Famous Ron Fellows In The 1990 Season A Nice Original Example Showing Just 10,099 km From New 1 Of Just 39 Produced For The Rothmans Turbo Cup Series Includes Original Magnesium Oil Pan, Fellows' Steering Wheel, Numerous Other Spares, Logbook, And Period Photos Description In 1986, Germany introduced the Porsche 944 Turbo Cup series to the world, a one-model championship that put the 944 in the spotlight. Two years later, in 1988, Porsche Canada’s manager and former racing driver David Deacon brought the series to Canada and after securing sponsorships from some of the biggest names in motorsport, named it the Rothmans Porsche Turbo Cup. Apart from a healthy purse for the series winners, the season champion won a seat in a Rothmans-backed 962C at the next year’s running of the 24 Hours of Le Mans. The races eventually spread overseas to countries like France but remained extremely popular in Canada. The “Turbo Cup” cars, as they came to be called, were 944 Turbo models built by the Weissach factory specifically to race in the Cup Series. These racers weighed around 600 lbs less than a regular 944 Turbo and came equipped with numerous performance enhancements such as magnesium wheels, intake, and oil sump, a smaller and lighter alternator, bespoke brakes, and Bilstein suspension. The inside featured a steel roll car along with a Recaro racing seat and the absence of any convenience features like air conditioning. The 2.5L inline 4-cylinder engine got a larger output turbocharger, sending 250 HP and 272 lb.-ft of torque to the rear wheels through a 5-speed manual transaxle with a limited-slip differential and close-ratio 5th gear. Only 39 examples were ever produced by Porsche over the series’ three-year lifespan, making the 944 Turbo Cup one of the rarest Porsches one could own. This particular example, Chassis # WP0AA0950JN165096, is a low-mileage 944 Turbo Cup with only 10,099 km (6275 miles) on the odometer and a single private owner. On top of multiple podium finishes throughout its history, this pedigreed racer was driven by famed driver Ron Fellows in the 1990 Series to an 8th Overall finish and still proudly wears that same livery. Just before the last race of the 1990 series, the engine was reportedly rebuilt by Ron Fellows team and still has the Porsche stamped lead clamps adorning the engine. Following the end of the series, this Porsche was purchased by the second owner in 1990, who removed the magnesium oil pan to keep it safe (The rare magnesium oil pan is included with the sale of the car). The car is all original from the rear quarters forward, including the hood, windshield, and other glass. Despite being involved in a rear-end collision with Ron at the wheel during the 1990 season, the accident damage was repaired properly, leaving the car in the proper spec and condition. This rare Turbo Cup will need some normal timeout and safety items addressed before it is ready to hit the track again but it runs and drives without an issue as it is. These Weissach factory-built Porsche race cars are few and far between, making examples at this price point with such low mileage and exceptional history, an absolute must-have for both Porsche collectors and race enthusiasts alike. Given their pedigree, they are eligible for HSR, PCA Club Races, and more while also perfectly gracing the lawn of any Porsche-specific Concours event. Upon purchase, the new owner will receive a copy of the logbook, numerous spare parts, including a seat, suspension components, the original steering wheel utilized by Ron Fellows, a 944 Turbo Cup transmission, the original magnesium oil pan, and more, along with period photos featuring this 944 Turbo Cup in its glory days. EXTERIOR Body And Paint The body of this example is very straight overall, free from any obvious dents or big dings, and all of the shut gaps are very good for a race car. All of the graphics are applied in the correct places and look very nice with minimal sun fading. The painted hood graphic is original from the last Rothmans Turbo Cup race it was in, as is the original turbo cup-specific fiberglass hood. The car was originally red. There is evidence of green in some areas from when it was painted in the Fuji Film livery during the 1988 season prior to its current livery. The paint is nice and consistent throughout, and the stickers are applied with care. Overall, the car is very presentable cosmetically, especially considering it is a race car. We believe the process graphics sticker on the roof is original, as are the stickers on the windshield. The windshield appears to be original as well, with factory stickers still applied to it. As seen in footage of the Rothman series in 1990, during this car’s last race with Ron Fellows at the wheel, it did spin and hit a barrier, causing damage to the rear, which was properly repaired by the previous owner who replaced the rear valance trunk floor and rear sections of the quarter panels. Overall, this car is cosmetically excellent per race car standards, and you really wouldn’t touch anything if you intended to do some vintage racing or even take the car on the show field. Glass And Trim All of the glass appears to be original with correct insignias, including the windshield. The windshield does have some small stone peppering throughout, but no cracks or other serious chips are evident. All of the exterior trim fits nicely and is relatively supple for its age, considering it is a race car. Wheels INTERIOR Seats And Surfaces The interior is acceptable for a race car with the original original cage still intact, the original date-coded Riccaro seat and passenger seat in place, with carpeting in place from the rear seats forward. The carpeting in the rear seating section has been removed. The current steering wheel installed is incorrect, but the nice original Ron Fellows steering wheel comes included with the car. The odometer shows 10,099 km which we believe to be original. Functionality And Accessories All of the gauges appear to function correctly. The headlights have been removed. If racing is the goal, all of the time-out items, such as the racing harnesses, seats, etc. will need to be addressed prior to any track time. ENGINE BAY AND TRUNK Engine Bay The engine bay is extremely original with its original magnesium intake and factory stickers present throughout. It even comes with its original magnesium oil pan included. The engine bay is highly correct for a turbo cup car with its original suspension strap bar mounts, no power steering, and its correct fiberglass hood. As told by the previous owner, who bought the car in 1990 from the original team, he claims that before its last race, the engine was rebuilt by Porsche and sealed with lead clamps that are still present on the car. We believe the engine is original to the car and has the correct prefix number. If racing is the goal, all of the time-out items will need to be addressed prior to any track time. Trunk Area The trunk area is sparse and completely empty, with no carpeting. Acceptable for a race car. Underside The underside is original and tidy for a race car. MECHANICALS Engine The car cold starts well and sounds very healthy, with a loud growl coming from the turbo cup-specific Walker exhaust, which sounds wonderful. The car makes linear, smooth power throughout all the gears, and there are no issues to note. If racing is the goal, all of the time-out items will need to be addressed prior to any track time. Transmission The transmission feels great, with no grinding upon shifting or other issues to note. However, the clutch is a bit on or off and chatters sometimes upon takeoff. Brakes And Suspension The brakes function as they should, stopping quickly and smoothly and free from chattering or fading. The suspension feels firm and tight over bumps, with no issues to note. Again, if racing is the goal, all of the time-out items will need to be addressed prior to any track time. Tires The original magnesium cup wheels still have their original tri-coat pearlescent finish albeit they are fairly beat up. Currently, it has Hoosier Slicks in good condition but with 2016 date codes. DRIVING EXPERIENCE The 944 Turbo Cup feels incredibly special when sitting behind the wheel. Just knowing you are sitting in a Weissach-built, factory Porsche race car from the 1980s is a special experience in and of itself, but when coupled with the sound of the exhaust, the Recaro seat wrapped around your sides, and the perfectly balanced cornering characteristics and power, the experience is truly unmatched. They do everything right, on and off the track. These are tame, street-able cars when you want them to be and ferocious track terrors at the drop of the green flag.

Matching Numbers Rudge Wheels Spare, Tools, Knock-off Hammer, Owner’s Manual Ground Up Restoration 1 of 552 Produced in 1958 – Last Year of the Speedster Push-Rod Engine Production First in Class, Carmel-By-The-Sea Concours 2019 Created and built on the vision by one of America’s most prolific importers Max Hoffman, the Porsche 356 Speedster filled a void that the clever automotive industrialist thought was lacking: a lightweight, few frills, open top sports car. His intuition, like many other times, proved to be correct and the Speedster was a resounding success. Finding iconic owners such as Steve McQueen saw the Speedster’s popularity shoot into the stratosphere, and today these low-slung 356s are some of the most sought-after variants built by Porsche. The 356 Speedster holds significant historical importance in the evolution of sports car design and automotive culture. At its core, the Speedster represented a departure from conventional luxury and performance cars of its time. Conceived as a stripped down, more affordable variant of the Porsche 356, it embodied a purist approach to driving pleasure. Introduced in the post-war era, the 356 Speedster catered to a growing demand for lightweight, nimble sports cars that emphasized agility and handling over sheer horsepower. Its minimalist design, characterized by a low, raked windshield, and removable top, reflected this philosophy. This simplicity not only reduced weight, but also enhanced the driving experience, allowing automotive enthusiasts to feel more connected to the road. Moreover, the 1958 Speedster played a pivotal role in popularizing the Porsche brand here in the United States. With its sleek styling and engaging driving dynamics, it captivated a new generation of enthusiasts. Its success laid the groundwork for Porsche’s subsequent achievements in motorsport and its enduring reputation as a manufacturer of high-performance sports cars. This 356 received a ground up restoration. Every element of the Speedster was addressed during the restoration process, with the intention that the car be as meticulous mechanically as it would be cosmetically flawless, knowing that the stunning color combination of a beautiful black over red interior would make for the perfect Best of Show contender. Every component of the car was disassembled, assessed, and restored to perfection. 1958 was the last year of 356 Speedster push-rod production, with an estimated 552 produced. Presented here is an excellent opportunity to be the next caretaker of a concours-level, expertly restored Speedster.
