1965 Volkswagen Speedster Recreation

VW Speedster recreation

The Porsche 356 Speedster was introduced in 1954 after Max Hoffman, the American importer of the German brand, saw an opportunity for a cheap, spartan open sports car based on the successful 356. Porsche then introduced the 356 Speedster. Like many legendary models in Porsche's history, "the art of omission" led to one of the most desirable models in automotive history.

This Vintage Speedster is a recreation of the original. It is a copy built by the renowned company Vintage Speedsters, which has now delivered more than 3, 300 examples of this Speedster.

Most of the Speedsters offered have a 1, 600 cc air-cooled engine, but this example is equipped with a more powerful 1, 915 cc engine with twin carburetors that delivers approximately 90 hp. This spirited engine is coupled to a 3. 88 gearbox. Thanks to the optional twin sports exhaust, this Speedster produces an impressive sound that will be music to any enthusiast's ears. In terms of stopping power, the driver does not have to worry either, as this example has optional front disc brakes. The body is made of polyester, and because the paintwork could not withstand the perfectionist's scrutiny, it was decided to finish it in Gulf colors. The body is in perfect, damage-free condition.

This car has Dutch registration.

It's the details that make this Speedster so appealing. The interior is upholstered in a beautiful black color that complements the "Gulf" livery perfectly. The bucket seats keep you perfectly in place and are upholstered in artificial leather.

In short, this is a beautiful Speedster recreation in a tasteful color scheme, of exceptionally high quality, and equipped with attractive options that are not inferior to those of a newer example. It is a pleasure to drive thanks to the stronger engine and disc brakes. You are very welcome to visit our showroom and see this Speedster up close.
