It depends on why you own a Speedster? Or for that matter any Porsche or Replica of one. I'm a member of the 356 Registry & PCA and currently own BOTH original 356 and a Speedster Replica. I've owned over 25 Porsches and have owned and driven them since 1970. Many snobs in both the 356 Registry & PCA look down at those who drive Replicas, but the reality is that for those who grew up with the 356 & early 911's it's about the driving experience NOT the staus or the value of a particular Porsche. When I got my Speedster replica many of my friends were apalled but those who knew why I bought one understood. First my first Speedster a 1955 Pre A cost me $1,100, my second another 55 I bought in 1974 $3,000 and my last a 1958 I bought for $8,000 in 1984. For me spending in excess of $250,000 for another original Speedster is insane! I have a friend who owns a Concourse 58 Speedster and is terrified of considering actually driving it on the street. If I or anyone whats to enjoy a Speedster for what it WAS not what's it's worth or to bloat one's ego by showing how anal one can keep one, there is little choice. Don't get me wrong I DO appreciate a finely restored car but keep in mind what it's purpose was and is! When I drive my Speedster replica it has much the same "feel" as my Originals and was reasonable to buy and carefree to drive! After all isn't that why we buy a car in the first place?
