Porsche 356 A 1600 Super Speedster

Roadster, 1957

Highlights

  • Central locking wheels ex works
  • Reutter certificate and Kardex card
  • Original 1600 Super engine - Matching numbers

This exceptional Porsche 356 A Speedster 1600 Super is one of the earliest 1957 models in this legendary series. It was delivered on December 6, 1957, to the famous Porsche US importer Max Hoffmann in New York —at a time when the Speedster was enjoying its heyday in the US.
This model was delivered ex-works in the elegant color Ivory (color code 5704 B) and still features matching colors today, which, in conjunction with matching numbers, impressively underscores its authenticity and originality.
One of its most distinctive features is that it was delivered from the factory with center-lock wheels – an extremely rare and sporty specification found on only a few Speedsters. Combined with the more powerful 1600 Super engine and early production date, this makes the car one of the rarest and most collectible Speedsters ever.
The engine and transmission correspond to the delivery condition (Matching numbers), confirmed by the Reutter certificate and the Porsche Kardex card. The original plug discs have also been preserved.
The car has been in the last owner's possession for 27 years within our customer base – proof of its consistently careful maintenance and respectful treatment of this automotive cultural asset.

The vehicle in detail

Historical background
In the mid-1950s, Max Hoffmann, Porsche's visionary US importer, recognized American customers' desire for a purist, lightweight sports car. This led to the creation of the Porsche 356 Speedster – a minimalist, agile roadster that perfectly captured the spirit of its time.
Personalities such as James Dean and Steve McQueen made the Speedster a symbol of style, freedom, and sporting ambition. With the 1600 Super engine, Porsche offered a particularly lively variant that took the driving experience to a new level – uncompromisingly sporty, direct, and authentic.
Conclusion
A Porsche 356 A Speedster 1600 Super from early 1957 production, with matching numbers, matching colors, and documented factory delivery with center-lock wheels, is one of the rarest and most sought-after versions of this iconic model series.
This vehicle uniquely combines authenticity, technical originality, and historical value. An outstanding collector's item that embodies the essence of the early Porsche spirit – pure, light, and full of driving pleasure.
