Porsche introduced the T5-generation 356 B Roadster as a replacement for the 356 A Convertible D. Compared to the contemporaneous Cabriolet offering, this more sporting model featured a removable windscreen frame, pared-back Speedster-style fascia, a lighter folding roof, and did without rear seat cushions. Meanwhile, in Super trim, the Type 616/2 flat-four engine was rated to produce 75 horsepower to mark a 15 horsepower jump over the standard 1600 variant. The accompanying Certificate of Authenticity issued by Porsche Cars North America records that this car, chassis number 87593, was built as a 356 B 1600 Super Roadster for the 1960 model year. It was finished by the factory wearing Ruby Red paintwork over a Light Grey leatherette interior and was optionally equipped with reclining seats and Continental tyres.
