The Porsche 911 Speedster ranks as one of the marque’s most desirable and recognisable models of the modern era. A combination of exclusivity, sleek styling, and the thrill of open-air motoring add infinite appeal to the distinguished Speedster. The 1989-only model made its bow to mark 35 years since the introduction of its 356 namesake.

Though a small number of narrow-body examples were built, most 911 Speedsters of this generation took “wide body” form with front wings, rear quarter panels, and chunky Fuchs alloy wheels borrowed from the top-of-the-range Turbo. However, the most notable feature of the aggressive, purposeful design was the frameless windscreen, which was both steeply raked and lower than that in the Carrera. The roof—such as it was—was only intended for use in lightly inclement weather.

The example offered here was completed by the Stuttgart factory on 19 June 1989, finished in Black over a Black leatherette interior, and sent to the United States. It remained there until June 2007, according to the CARFAX report available to view in its history file, when the 911 returned to its native Germany. It was registered for the road later the following year. Headlights, indicators, and rear bumpers were converted to European specification and the car was also fitted with a metric odometer. The Speedster is offered for sale with its manuals, a jack, spare wheel, and toolkit.
