Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

70hp 1582cc engine, displayed chrome wheels however original 16 wheels were included. Rare removable hard top also included. Very pleasing rare Porsche in solid 3+ condition with no significant flaws observed, clean engine compartment. An older restoration showing its age. Engine number corresponds to a 55 1500 Normal.

Market commentary

Another of the featured Glenn Schaffer collection cars. Last seen at The Auction in Las Vegas in 1999 where it was reported sold for $47,250 in markedly better condition. Porsche Speedster buyers were no doubt put off by the apparent mismatch of the engine number and type.
