There are not many classic cars on which even a heavy patina like this does not detract from their charm, indeed, in this case it is an important plus.

What can be the conditions of a car built 60 years ago and left 20 or 30 years outdoors, under a tarp? Not good, of course.

There are not a few 356 Speedsters around, in any condition, but very few still have the original hardtop which, by the way, has a beautiful design. In fact, I don’t like spiders with the hardtop because to me it “kills” the character of a spider (and very often makes it uglier) however, as with… Read More Hard-Top: 1957 Porsche 356 Speedster
If there is a cliché about a vintage car, this Speedster is its plastic representation: black, red interior and paint worn by time. 62 years have passed since the construction of this 356 Speedster, assembled in Germany two years before the year in which the film Back to the Future (which I am watching while I… Read More Just enough scraped: 1957 Porsche 356 A Speedster
We are often puzzled by how wide can be the price difference of these cars: of course conditions matter as well as the originality and the numbers of the car, but you can easily find the same kind of car for sale with a price difference of $50-100k with no apparent reason. This particular car… Read More Special brakes: 1958 Porsche 356 A Speedster
