PORSCHE 356A SPEEDSTER
2-seater roadster.
The lovely, if stark, one, with shallow barchetta-style screen that all the replicar-merchants reproduce on stock VW floorpans. The real McCoy is hard to find, as it was really a US-market special. On all 356s, watch for rust inside the front wings, and remember that not all Porsche owners knew how to cope: an awful lot of them will have been rolled.
