1955 Porsche 356 Super Speedster for Sale in the United Kingdom

Chassis 80202 left the factory with the uprated 1500 Super engine, a specification shared by only around 150 Pre-A Speedsters, and it dates from the start of 1955, when Porsche moved to a chassis designed for the Speedster alone. Specialists restored it in recent years, building a period 1500 unit to Super tune, and Roger Bray has just prepared it. It carries its Certificate of Authenticity, a Kardex copy and a set of rare side windows, and it qualifies for the Mille Miglia.

Porsche introduced the Speedster late in 1954 as the lightest and plainest 356, and the Pre-A cars are the ones collectors want. Beyond the 54 hp 1500 engine Porsche offered the 1500 Super of 70 hp, beaten only by the four-cam Carrera.

Its highlights include chassis 80202, built with the 1500 Super engine.

The car is located in Hook Norton, United Kingdom.

The Porsche 356 Speedster uses the 1,488 cc air-cooled 1500 flat-four, with a four-speed Porsche-synchromesh manual gearbox driving the rear wheels.

Can this Porsche 356 be bought in the United Kingdom and registered elsewhere in Europe?

The car is located in Hook Norton, United Kingdom. The dealer has not stated whether the price is quoted gross, net of VAT for export, or under the margin scheme. Cross-border purchase is normal for this kind of car, but the documentation, the certificate of conformity, transport and the registration rules of the destination country all have to be settled with the selling dealer first.

How does the mileage of this Porsche 356 compare?

1,806 km recorded, against a median of 23,150 km across the Porsche 356 advertised in Europe in 2026. It is therefore among the lower-mileage cars currently listed. Service records and ownership details should be checked against the documents held by the selling dealer.

a 1952 car in Germany at €349,000, and a 1953 car in Italy at €288,850. Observed in 2026. Comparing them means putting model year, mileage, factory options and the VAT basis side by side before the price itself.

Who is selling this Porsche 356, and how does a purchase work?

Tom Hartley Jnr, a professional dealer in Hook Norton, United Kingdom. LUSSO lists the car and passes enquiries to that dealer; the inspection, the negotiation, the invoice and the transfer of ownership all take place directly between the buyer and the dealer. LUSSO does not hold stock, take deposits or act as an intermediary in payment.

Can this Porsche 356 be inspected before purchase?

The car is at Hook Norton, United Kingdom, and an inspection is arranged with the selling dealer.
