As soon as I arrived for the second day of the New Hope Auto Show, I found myself face-to-face with this little Porsche.  I happen to love the 356 Speedster, and it’s not often that I see one in original condition.  This 1954 or 1955 pre-A model was a sight to see and kept my attention for a solid amount of time among the other early Porsches around it.  Less than 1300 of the pre-A Speedsters were made until 1955 and they tend to sell high at auctions–in fact, don’t be surprised to see one sell for over 200K.  A red 1955 model sold by RM went for more than $250,000 at an auction this past May.  This one, with its light blue exterior and timeless bathtub looks, grabbed everyone’s attention effortlessly.  Enjoy the photos.
