Remarks owner: | 1955 Porsche 356 Speedster #80806 Pre A 1500 Normal This is Speedster #80806, a pre-A 1500 normal speedster. It has the original type 546/2 1500 cc engine # P35594. The odometer reads 18196, however I believe it to be 118,196 miles or more. It has the original signal lights, reflectors and tag light. The headlights, rearview mirror and oil temperature gauge are of a later vintage. The hood handle and all the emblems were deleted by a previous owner. The ignition switch is a later replacement. The original color was ivory. The seats are the original steel ones. The shifter was modified for faster shifting and several of the interior parts have been chrome plated. The passenger door gap is excellent. The driver\'s side is not as good. History owners before 9/04/68 unknown (California). Same Owner 1968 to 2002. Sold by wife in 2006.
