AUCTION CAR:

This 1956 Porsche 356 Speedster Recreation is a beautifully executed and well-sorted example that captures the spirit, purity, and lightweight ethos of the original Pre-A/356A Speedster.

Unlike many other builds, this car has been constructed with genuine Porsche mechanical DNA at its core, featuring a highly desirable GA-code 2.0-litre Porsche engine, along with Type 3 front and IRS suspension.

Presented in freshly completed Porsche Cream paintwork (2024) and fitted with classic Speedster seats, period detailing and a soft-top with side windows, this tribute delivers the iconic 356 experience at a fraction of the cost of an original.

A clean, tidy, and thoughtfully engineered vehicle that retains the Porsche heart and character enthusiasts want, while offering true sporty driving with modern reliability and easy drivability.

 

DRIVE – LINE:

Power comes from a genuine Porsche 2.0-litre GA-code Air-Cooled engine—widely regarded as the most powerful and best-developed of the factory air-cooled Porsche four-cylinder engines, originally fitted to the very last Porsche 914 models. Fuelled by twin Weber IDF carburettors and treated to a full engine rebuild in 2021, this unit offers crisp throttle response, tractable torque, and that unmistakable Porsche air-cooled soundtrack. A recently fitted Vintage Speed exhaust enhances performance and tone.

The driveline is complemented by a powder-coated late-Type 3 IRS transaxle known for its strength and smoothness, paired with a Type 3 disc-brake front beam offering significantly improved braking and road manners over the original models layout. Together, the car benefits from balanced handling, predictable cornering and superior stopping power – all contributing to a driving experience that feels faithful, lively and genuinely enjoyable.

 

EXTERIOR:

Finished in new era correct Porsche Cream duco completed in 2024, the exterior presents beautifully with a clean, fresh and classic aesthetic reminiscent of the mid-1950s Speedsters delivered in soft pastel shades. The iconic low-cut Speedster windscreen, minimalist body lines, and sculpted rear haunches are all faithfully represented. Panel fit is tidy, the finish is smooth and glossy, and the overall presentation is cohesive and well curated. The car sits correctly on period-appropriate wheels and tyres that complement its vintage stance. Supplied with a soft-top and side windows for weather protection, the exterior captures the unmistakable “less is more” philosophy that made the 356 Speedster a style icon.

 

INTERIOR:

Inside, the car retains the purposeful simplicity of the original Porsche Speedster with original Speedster-style bucket seats, matching ‘Speedster’ inscribed door cards, and tailored carpets that deliver a clean and authentic cabin feel. The low dash line, minimal switchgear and open cockpit layout create a pure 1950s sports-car ambience. The seating position, steering wheel placement and visibility replicate the classic Speedster ergonomics that enthusiasts love. Everything inside feels tidy, and no more than functional apart from a modern stereo, providing an inviting cockpit for weekend drives and club events alike.

 

SUMMARY:

A well-built and thoughtfully engineered 1956 Porsche 356 Speedster Recreation, powered by a genuine GA-code Porsche 2.0-litre engine and supported by upgraded Type 3 mechanicals for reliability and performance. Freshly refinished in Porsche Cream, rebuilt mechanically, fitted with quality components and currently on club registration, this example offers the look, sound and charm of an original Speedster at a realistic price point.
