Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

1,582/70hp, 4-speed, hubcaps, bumper overriders, Rallycounter S rally odometer, comfort seats.

Condition

Represented as the original engine, mechanically overhauled by Porsche Classic in Stuttgart. Presented with an inadequate selection of 35 photos and a superficial condition report. Restored in the U.S. some years ago. Impressive engine compartment with intact quilted sound deadening.

Market commentary

It's a matter of opinion, but a more complete description, better photos and a more thorough condition report could have brought an even better result for this high quality Speedster. The bidders were left to rely on the implied quality of a Porsche Classic restoration. With more details this could have been a $350,000 Speedster, a margin the new owner takes home.
