Porsche 356 Speedster “Outlaw” Replica by Vintage Speedsters, California Beautifully Built Factory Car | Imported from California | 13, 600 Miles | 1776cc Engine | Exceptional Condition This striking Porsche 356 Speedster “Outlaw” Replica was factory-built by Vintage Motorcars of California, widely regarded as the leading builder of 356 Speedster replicas in the USA (vintagemotorcarsinc. com). Imported to the UK in 2015, this car represents the very best of the marque’s craftsmanship – a faithful yet individual recreation of the iconic 1950s Porsche Speedster, enhanced with distinctive Outlaw styling and superb build quality. Exterior & Styling Finished in a wonderfully authentic Khaki Olive (French Grey) with Black leather upholstery, a Red dashboard, and matching Red racing stripes and decals, this Speedster exudes vintage motorsport character. The Outlaw aesthetic strips away the front and rear bumpers and chrome side trim, leaving a pure, purposeful silhouette. Key exterior details include: Vented engine cover Black wing-mounted racing mirrors Yellow headlamps with chrome protectors Front fog lights Leather bonnet straps Racing badges and decals Completing the period-correct look are Porsche chrome hubcaps, whitewall tyres, and an original 1960s Lietz chrome luggage rack with leather retaining straps. A black mohair soft top, drop-in side windows, and tonneau cover are all supplied. Mechanical & Performance When imported to the UK in 2015, the car had covered just over 3, 000 miles since new. The current owner purchased it in July 2017 at 4, 800 miles. At 7, 640 miles, the original engine was replaced with a new 1776cc flat-four engine in 2018 and offering strong, reliable performance with that unmistakable air-cooled character. Since then, it has covered a further 6, 000 miles, bringing the total to just 13, 622 miles since build. Additional upgrades include a new stainless steel CSP EVO Competition Exhaust System with new Heat Exchangers in 2021, and the car was most recently serviced by Beetlelink of Farnham in October 2024. Craftsmanship & Quality Vintage Motorcars’ factory-built Speedsters are renowned for their fit, finish, and authenticity, and this example is no exception. The Khaki Olive paintwork is near flawless, and the body panel fit and shut lines are excellent – the doors, bonnet, and engine lid all operate with a reassuringly solid feel. These cars deliver a driving experience quite distinct from UK-based replicas such as the Chesil – and, being left-hand drive, this example offers the full Californian authenticity. Summary While original Porsche 356 Speedsters are now incredibly rare and prohibitively expensive, the Vintage Speedster replicas have become sought-after in their own right – even seasoned Porsche enthusiasts struggle to distinguish them from the originals. This particular car’s Outlaw specification, low mileage, and superb presentation make it a stand-out example.
