This immaculate auto is in the collection of Brescia Classic Cars in Italy. It’s #48 of only 200 similar cars built by Porsche in 1954.
Part of the “Pre-A” production of Porsche 356 cars produced from 1948 to 1955, the first Speedster powerplants were 1100 cc, increased to 1500 cc in 1951.
The Porsche 356 Pre-A Speedster was a stripped-down, low-cost, sports-oriented version of the 356. It had a cut-down windshield, a lightweight removable top, and side curtains instead of roll-up windows.
Driven by Massimo Bettinsoli and Emanuele Peli, this car finished in the top 50 overall at the 2011 Mille Miglia (Click here to look at the 2011 results).
This beautiful automobile was the inspiration for “The One 356″…a handmade bicycle from Italian artisan bicycle builder Scatto Italiano.
