Can you help me to identify an old Porsche?
Discussion
Morning all. For the past two mornings, I have seen an old, and potentially unusual Porsche drive past my house. I'm not that great with vintage cars, but my first thought was that it was a Speedster, but a quick Google suggests that the 356 isn't quite right.
Short of waiting outside in the hope that it drives past again and manically stepping into the road to ask, here's my blink and you miss it description:

- Silver
- 2 seat convertible
- Probably early 1960s
- Very low, but not quite as "round" as the 356
- It has one of those period aerodynamic humps at the back, to help the air move past the driver's head

I saw something go past me yesterday that I wanted to I.D but I only have the fact it was like a 50s Ferrari style race car with wheel bumps above the bodyline front and back, and it was red 
Original Testa Rossa maybe https://www.classicdriver.com/en/article/cars/tom-...SweptVolume said:
