Correspondence with Porsche shows that this US-specification 356 A Speedster was built in June 1956. Originally finished in white over a red interior and equipped with a 1600 S air-cooled, flat-four engine numbered 61934 (according to a copy of the Kardex) it was imported to New York via Max Hoffmann’s famed distributor. After a stint in Jacksonville, Florida, the repainted car was advertised for sale in the 21 July 1986 edition of Antique, Custom & Sportscar Trader. Described as having had a “complete professional restoration, original and correct, red lacquer, black interior”, the asking price was $21,000. It was purchased by The Aumann Collection, who smartly negotiated the price down to $19,000, before enjoying the Speedster in Sarasota. Chassis 82351 was then shipped from Miami to Bremerhaven, Germany in May 1994. Complemented by a history file, tool roll, tonneau cover, and spare wheel, this 356 further benefits from long-term custodianship and is ready to be driven in its current form or is a contender for renewed restoration.
