Almost all original and all good! A prince of a daily driver. Love the patina.

[@SuperCarClassicsTV]

She was, James. Think it was sold to someone who'd leave it untouched!

Like an old, comfortable, shoe that you've worn for years and still fits you well and gets you where you want to go with grace and poise.

Cuanto carácter para ser "un simple vehículo", me atrevería a afirmar que no debería ser restaurado, sino que el dueño debería seguir disfrutándolo al máximo, con todos los cuidados necesarios claro para mantenerlo en correcto funcionamiento. Que auto!!!

[@frufru0071]

I loved this video! Thanks for sharing it, before some wealthy collector replaces/rebuilds everything and stores it in another garage. I love the patina!

[@foxbeats8485]

😭😭😭😭😭😭 the music describes the feeling of the Porsche, it’s just sad 😞

[@russellaycock3703]

I’m sure this car has already been restored but I would have kept it just as it is except for repairing the seats. Original cars are far more rare than restored ones and in my opinion they look better - like a well worn denim or leather jacket. A delectable machine!

[@FKspeedster]

Never restore that beautiful car! It's got history and character- like very few other cars! Congratulations for the owner!

[@SuperCarClassicsTV]

What I heard was that this car was bought by someone who'd leave it in this condition, so... that's good news! Ciao, Walter

[@ashleyschooneman2998]

such a beautiful little car

[@foxbeats8485]

I love the end... look at zoom away😁

[@markthorne3414]

good example ,of a barn find. Who ever buys the speedster, it getting a good car, would like to see it when it has been rebuilt

[@SuperCarClassicsTV]

It is not going to be rebuilt. It is worth more in this condition than restored ;-).

[@PhotoWorksInteract]

I love this car exactly as it is. It's the simplicity of it's history- trials and tribulations! The cars these days are just to complicated while this beauty brings back the simplicity of yesteryear. Please don't give her surgery only to be placed in some garage never to be driven again...

[@SuperCarClassicsTV]

Thanks for the beautiful words, Paul. I remember people saying about this car that it was worth more unrestored than restored, so hopefully it is still in this state 👍. Ciao, Walter

[@serranasuarez1152]

asi como esta es mas bello que uno tuneado guarda su esencia.

[@garycousino4016]

WOW!

[@gerardosalas9477]

It looks trashy but still better than most current American cars

[@serranasuarez1152]

la maquina.........................................

[@anthonyalvear6599]

Restored this car I need it...

[@koen8185]

Look up Nico Aaldering presents the Porsche Speedster , same car , it is/was in the Netherlands...

[@camskibunnie9954]

I had an original 1957 Speedster in college. I had the hard top and winter windows and the soft top and summer windows...I am looking to by a restored one but no-one has any idea about making a hard top for it. I live in Alaska and would need the hard top as well. How can I get the specs on the hard top so I can have one made? Please contact me. Cam Mocarski

[@SuperCarClassicsTV]

Hi Cam, I'm sorry to say I cannot assist you, because this car was sold years ago to someone I don't know. All the best! Walter

[@burdineestep4224]

Reproduction hardtop are made today.

[@anthonyalvear6599]

need urgent restore....

[@jeffinillinois]

What seats are those? Not the standard speedster seats!

[@burdineestep4224]

Speedsters were available with coupe seats from the factory. 1970 I bought a speedster w/ coupe seats and the same hardtop.

[@Nikolay_Grigoryev]

wow, how much did they want for it?

[@SuperCarClassicsTV]

+Nikolay Grigoryev Probably a couple of 100.000 dollars? I don't know, the would not tell me ;-).

[@tomaszbartkowiak8171]

poor porsche :(

[@ashleyjames308]

No car video is ever helped by "music"

[@SuperCarClassicsTV]

o, yes, it has!

[@jamesdunn9714]

Nice music in this case and the engine is heard running. I like the music.

[@melindamanthey2757]

The music is "awful", dreary, had to turn it off to watch. Did manage to catch the engine and exhaust sound a couple times but then the damned music came back on ; more a funeral dirge than a celebration of the "phoenix" moment of the car. I owned a 53 bent window coupe back in the 60s. A 1500 "normal" . As to not restoring this car, I would remove/correct the insults it endured over the years and attend to any structural rust and safety issues. Other than that, I'd leave it alone.
