1956 Porsche 356 Pre-A SpeedsterChassis 81222 — One of the Final Twelve Early Pre-A Speedsters BuiltOffered on behalf of a long-term private client, this highly original and exceptionally well-documented Pre-A Speedster represents one of the purest expressions of the early open 356.Introduced at the insistence of Max Hoffman for the American market, the Pre-A Speedster remains among the most desirable open Porsches ever produced. Lightweight, deliberately spartan, and equally at home on the road or in weekend competition, only 4, 854 Speedsters were built before the model evolved into the Convertible D. Within that limited production, the earliest Pre-A cars occupy a particularly rare and sought-after position.Chassis 81222 is finished in Signal Red over black and has remained with the same California owner since 1966—an unbroken sixty-year period of continuous single ownership in the Golden State. It is a two-owner car from new. Continuously maintained by Frank’s Automotive in Sacramento and the subject of two careful restorations (the most recent completed in 1997), the car is documented as rust-free and accident-free. Critically, all body panels are numbers-matching to the chassis—an increasingly rare attribute on early Speedsters of this purity.The original engine was replaced some years ago with a tightly sorted 912-derived unit bored to 1, 722 cc. While the engine is not numbers-matching, the car is responsive, well-sorted, and ready for immediate enjoyment.Genuine early Pre-A Speedsters combining continuous California ownership of this duration, documented long-term care, and numbers-matching body panels are increasingly scarce. Opportunities of this caliber surface infrequently.The long-term owner is available to discuss the car’s history in detail.When did you last encounter a Speedster with sixty years of continuous California ownership—documented, 100% rust-free, and numbers-matching body panels?We invite serious collectors to study the accompanying photographs carefully.Located in our showroom in Auburn, California.Pre-purchase inspections are welcomed.Worldwide shipping gladly arranged.Price: $259, 000. 00For further information, please contact:Office: 1-the details belowusing the button belowThe above vehicle information has been thoroughly researched and is accurate to the best of our knowledge.
