The outrageous modern successor to the 356 Speedster, Porsche’s 1989 911 Speedster was a simpler, lighter, less-expensive, performance-oriented model, intended for use as both a fair-weather tourer and a weekend track car. With its sharply angled, cut-down windshield and the rear of the cockpit covered by a fiberglass tonneau cover, it had an outrageous, though slick, appearance. Matching the hot looks were the H-program’s 3.2-liter air-cooled flat six, which developed 217 bhp. Power was fed through a five-speed Getrag G50 transaxle, and there were power-assisted, ventilated, and cross-drilled disc brakes with alloy calipers at all four corners.

The 911 Speedster offered here was delivered new in Silver with a black interior, and optioned with locking 40 percent rear differential, a short-throw shifter for the G50 transmission, intensified windshield washer, headlamp washer, sport seats with electrical height adjustment, and factory air conditioning. An original Canadian-market example, its warranty booklet was signed 5 May 1989, and notes routine maintenance by Auto Strasse of Montreal in 1993, 1995, and 1998, the last at 7,595 kilometers, all for Roger LeBlanc of Montreal. The last service work is noted for the succeeding owner by G Tek of York, Ontario, at 7,712 kilometers in 2000.

Accompanied by a set of manuals and its warranty book, as well as a correct original tool kit, jack, and its original rear-mounted space-saver spare, this is an excellent low-mileage, extremely original 911 Speedster, for the finest Porsche collection.
