1957 Porsche 356A T1 Speedster

European Collectibles did an exquisite restoration on this 1957 Speedster over a 24-month period from 2013 to 2015. During the restoration, this 356 was completely disassembled and stripped down to the bare shell so that every aspect could be properly addressed. The body and panels are original and still retain their correct stampings/numbers. All panels were pre-fit with bumpers, overrider bars, a windshield frame, and a soft top to ensure the absolute best result. All the chrome was triple-plated and all of the components were restored or replaced.
