In 1958, it appears that nearly every Speedster was exported to the U.S., in this case to its first owner, Mr. Jack Hulpers. In 1968, the 356 was sold to Mr. John Clever (a recognized member of the Porsche Club of America / Golden Gate. Region) in the U.S., who parked this Speedster in his barn in 1974, where the car remained until 1998. It was then acquired by a board member of the Sports Racing Association of Monterey and underwent a full restoration over several years by the “Porsche gods” at CANEPA, concluding in the year 2000; Confirmation of this is available from Canepa, as are numerous documents that were incorporated into an expert report by the renowned appraiser KLAUS KUKUK from Overath for his appraisal of this 356 Speedster dated March 18, 2025, totaling 97! pages.

The vehicle in detail

As a result, Mr. Kukuk rates this Speedster with a grade of 1-2/2+ and provides a detailed justification for this rating, including, among other things,

the statement that the car is in a “rarely seen state of preservation” and many other details. In his appraisal from March 2025, Mr. Kukuk estimates the replacement value at 450,000 euros.

Canepa also states the following in its confirmation of the restoration: “Both the engine and the transmission are believed to be original to the car” and “The 1958 Speedster is the best of the series.”

The Speedster arrived in Germany in 2014 and was registered to its current owner in Cologne; since the restoration, the car has covered only 3,633 KM and is in like-new condition inside and out, including its mechanical components and during a test drive—a truly fantastic vehicle with a 12-volt electrical system.

It would go beyond the scope of this listing to reproduce all the facts and the 97-page expert report in full; of course, all documentation is available, and the car would undergo a fresh TÜV inspection by a Cologne-based Porsche specialist who is truly knowledgeable about the 356 before it is handed over.

The sale is being conducted on behalf of a private client; viewings can be arranged by appointment, and any further questions are welcome via email, phone, or WhatsApp.
