Details: andlsquo;59 Porsche Convertible D, Serial number 85611 (#110 of 1331). This is the logical evolution of the venerable Speedster. From a driving perspective the andlsquo;Dandrsquo;, as it is commonly referred to in Porsche circles, has everything going for it. With a total production of only 1331 units produced, these rare models feature the lightweight SPEEDSTER body by Drauz, 3andfrac12; taller windscreen and folding soft top, roll up windows, larger rear window for visibility and safety and more comfortable, driver friendly, coupe seats.

This andlsquo;Dandrsquo; has all the desirability boxes checked.

The panel fit, shut lines, restoration processes and paint are all exemplary and documented.

The PERFECT TAN LEATHER interior and tan Haartz top compliment the stunning exterior (A complete dossier of color build photos are available on request and included in the sale, illustrating the level and scope of this restoration.)
