Description

This rare 356 Speedster was completed on May 16, 1955, and is therefore part of the Pre-A series.

Like the majority of the production run, this car was initially shipped to the United States.

It returned to Europe as early as 1989 and has been driven in England ever since.

In 2005, one of Britain’s most renowned 356 restorers, Roger Bray, carried out a full restoration of the Speedster. We have photographic documentation of this work.

As part of the restoration, the car was also upgraded for greater driving pleasure: it received, among other things, a more powerful engine with approximately 90 hp, a 12-volt electrical system, and 15-inch wheels.

The superbly crafted body was painted in Silver Blue Metallic, a color that suits the Speedster perfectly.
