Michael Oliver I am a new member of the Speedsters Club. I have recently completed a LHD Vintage Speedster built on a modified 1955 365A floor pan. The car has been constructed from many original 356 bitz to the highest possible standard irrespective of cost. It is registered as a Historic Porsche 356 with a really nice 4 digit number plate (valued at £4,000). The soft top is almost water tight and built along the original 356 lines, providing ample headroom for a 6' 3" driver. I have a matching full toneau and hood cover. The car has only covered 2,500 and is in concourse condition and has just completed a faultless run to the Le Mans 24 hour race. This vehicle is indistinguishable from the genuine article, has a twelve month MOT and is exempt from road tax. |

Aluminium stamped number plates with a four digit registration number valued at £4,000. | The interior and seat backs are fully carpeted in genuine ërestoration qualityí grey ribbed Porsche carpet. Lap seat belts add to the authenticity. |

The car is powered by a brand new VW 1642 hydraulic valve type II engine with a 3.88 gearbox which has only covered 2,500 miles. DETAIL: |
The piped slotted seat fronts, door panels and door cappings are finished in black leather. |
