Description
1956 Porsche 356 A speedster
Constructeur : 1956 Porsche 356 A speedster
Carte Grise : Certificat d'immatriculation allemand
N° Chassis : Châssis n° 82816
- Une des versions les plus recherchées de la Porsche 356
- Importants travaux d'entretien et restauration
- Superbe présentation, tant intérieure qu'extérieure
Selon sa fiche Kardex d'usine, cette Porsche 356 A Speedster a été livrée neuve le 7 décembre 1956 au célèbre importateur à New York Max Hoffman, de couleur rouge avec sellerie en simili noir et instrumentation en anglais. Le Kardex mentionne aussi des travaux d'entretien le 4 juin 1958 à 19 450 km et, plus tard dans son existence, cette voiture est revenue en Allemagne, son pays d'origine. Elle a sans doute séjourné en Bavière et l’important dossier de factures qui l'accompagne montre qu'elle a fait l'objet à partir de 2000 d'importantes dépenses d'entretien et de remise en état. En 2025, elle est vendue au propriétaire actuel par la succession d’un collectionneur dirigeant un atelier de restauration de carrosserie à Bonn, et se présente dans un état immaculé, dans une séduisante teinte crème avec capote marron. Elle est équipée d'un moteur Type 616/34 de Porsche 912, un 4-cylindres à plat refroidi par air qui correspond à une évolution logique de son moteur d'origine, dans la même architecture. Cette modification n'est pas rare, les moteurs de Speedster n'ayant pas toujours résisté au temps et le 912 apportant une puissance et une fiabilité accrues.
Modèle emblématique du début des succès sportif de la marque, cette Porsche Speedster incarne, avec sa carrosserie minimaliste et sa très belle présentation, l'essence même de la 356 dans toute sa pureté et se montrera parfaitement à l'aise sur les routes de cols, dans les rallyes internationaux ou sur les pelouses des rassemblements d'automobiles de collection les plus en vue.

1956 Porsche 356 A Speedster
According to its factory Kardex record, this Porsche 356 A Speedster was delivered new on the 7th December 1956 to the renowned New York importer Max Hoffman, in red with black faux leather upholstery and instrumentation in English. The Kardex also refers to servicing work done on the 4th June 1958 at 19,450 km; and later in its life, this car returned to Germany in its country of origin. It most likely spent some time in Bavaria and the extensive file of invoices included with the car indicates that it had significant servicing and restoration work carried out from 2000 onwards. In 2025 it was sold to the current owner by the estate of a collector who ran a bodywork restoration workshop. It is currently in immaculate condition, finished in an attractive cream colour with a brown soft top. It is fitted with a Porsche 912 Type 616/34 engine, an air-cooled flat-four version which reflects a logical evolution of its original engine, while retaining the same architecture. This modification is not unusual, as Speedster engines have not always stood the test of time and the 912 offers increased power and reliability.
As an iconic model from this brand's early sporting successes and with its minimalist bodywork, as well as its outstanding condition, this Porsche Speedster embodies the very essence of the 356 in all its purity and will be perfectly at home on mountain roads, in international rallies or on display at the most prestigious classic car events.
