The Porsche 550 RS Spyder was a strikingly simple design
An exceptionally original, never restored, beautifully preserved 1956 Porsche 550RS Spyder, estimated at £4.7-6.2 million has been announced for the Bonhams Goodwood Revival Sale, taking place on 10 September in Chichester, West Sussex.
“The 1956 Porsche 550RS Spyder offered is so original, that you could travel back in time 60 years and find it in much the same condition. It’s exactly how a 550 would have looked, smelt and felt like when James Dean famously purchased his example back in 1955. Chassis number 550 0090 hasn’t been thrashed around, it’s been well looked after, and even won the FIVA award for originality at Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance in 2010 – the perfect Porsche. A real time warp, and likely the last one left in such excellent, original condition.”
