Porsche created the Speedster at the request of its North American importer, Max Hoffman. He was having great success with the 356 Coupe, but was convinced he could rival the coincident British Roadsters if armed with an open variant of the car. The Speedster was born in 1954 by creating a cut-down version of the Cabriolet with all creature comforts removed. The spartan cockpit featured lightweight bucket seats with fixed backrests, and instrumentation was limited to a speedometer and temperature gauge. The car was an instant hit, particularly in Southern California. The peak year was 1957, when the best looking versions were made and it is these iconic cars that the British-built Chesil evocation recalls. Looking every inch the real thing, `DPK 43J' is described by the vendor as `very good' in terms of its Silver paintwork, Cream-coloured interior trim, 2-litre engine etc, and comes complete with instruction manual, collection of old MOTs plus invoices and a fresh MOT certificate
