# 1957 Porsche 356 A Speedster – An Icon Authenticated and Ready to Drive
This exceptional 1957 Porsche 356 A (T1) Speedster by Reutter represents the pinnacle of early Porsche engineering, backed by factory Kardex records confirming its original completion and delivery through Krauss of Nürnberg to a US serviceman in Germany. Inspected thoroughly by our resident 356 authority Graham Kidd and road-tested by Adrian, this example earned unanimous praise as one of the finest 356s either has experienced—with those door closures delivering that unmistakable, correct ‘chunk’ that only authentic Porsche quality provides. The original colour combination and transmission number align perfectly with factory records, while the engine was professionally rebuilt and uprated to 1,720cc in 2017, striking the ideal balance between originality and usable performance.
At £339,995, this Speedster commands its price through exceptional provenance, restoration quality, meticulous attention to detail, and outstanding driving cohesion—the factors that truly define long-term value and enjoyment. Better still, this icon is fully ULEZ compliant, meaning it can be enjoyed freely across London and major UK cities without restrictions. Whether you’re seeking a celebrated collector’s piece or a genuine driver’s car with impeccable credentials,
