Equipment
1600, 4-speed, Glaspar hardtop, Marchal headlamps, disc wheels, gold brightwork.
Condition
US-spec car represented as matching numbers in the catalog but disclosed at the sale as a restamped engine. The Zenith carbs are correct for a 1600 normal, but only until 1956, later should be Solex. Documented history. Not represented as ever having been restored but presents quite well with a few signs of use and a highly detailed engine bay.
Market commentary
Another market-appropriate result for this final-year Speedster which, in the context of this largely expensive White Collection auction, is the exception rather than the rule. With all the attention directed at the late model 99X series 911s this good 356A Speedster was overlooked, to the benefit of the astute buyer who snapped it up.
