The car comes with its original removable hard top, finished in contrasting white (not included in the price). The hard top was manufactured by Karmann and offered by Porsche from 1958 onwards. Once installed, it closely resembles the more recent Karmann “Notchback” coupés. A 1959 factory accessories catalogue advertised the hardtop at a factory retail price of $170. Many convertibles delivered with a hardtop, particularly in Europe, were not equipped with a folding fabric top, making this example even more unique.
