What Porsche Speedster would you buy, and why?

Lovely things, but are they great to drive?

There was only ever one iconic Speedster

A 58 is a good drive,54 to 56 not so good with out a few mods,also underpowered hence a lot run 912 motors.

Drove one some years ago - during a long summer, in London.

Had a lovely ‘patina’ of age, but a few discreet tweaks - rebored to 1700cc, Mahle pistons, upgraded carb, suspension, drum brakes and exhaust, and semi-bucket seats.

Still a ‘vintage’ drive, but a lot of fun at sensible speeds.
Brakes were the biggest deterrent.

With its GT3 underpinnings I'd clearly go for the 991.2

Decisions, Decisions. Equal fun in different ways.

This. They just get fatter after that.

[Billy_Whizzzz]

I’d go for a Spyder, or a Spyder RS.

This would be my thinking too if I were in the position...

All Speedsters seem to priced at a large premium, so I'd want something underneath to make it worthwhile.

I don't think I could stomach 200 grand for a 964 which although very rare, is just a 964 underneath is it not?

That red 964 speedster looks so much better than the barge parked next to it.
