1999 Speedster - SOLD

The Speedster you are looking at is the result of over two years of painstaking research, planning and execution. This Speedster is very likely the most original looking and one of the nicest Intermeccanica 356-A Speedsters to grace the roads of Vancouver.

Originally built for a Vancouver area customer as one of a limited run of three uniquely equipped Intermeccanicas, this Speedster features all top of the line options including Ultra High Performance custom built engine with Porsche 911 style fan shroud, special top frame providing a fully flat tonneau cover and original 356 Speedster side curtains!

The current owner has spent the last two years refining this unique Speedster from big options to small details, including but not limited to: all new original look “Wide 5” four wheel disc brakes; all new “wide five” wheels/tires painted in the original Ivory; correct North American option bumper overrider set featuring 1958 “Low” front tube, bars and guards all new and full chrome; all interior trim painted Ivory to match with new original style steering wheel. All above work done by Intermeccanica. Refinished and colour corrected instrument set including original clock.

Recent mechanical upgrades include Intermeccanica custom “Big Pipe” exhaust with center tip and all new HP heat exchangers. This Speedster has been meticulously gone through and serviced. A growing family is necessitating the liquidation of this beloved asset.

If you have ever dreamt of driving a show winning 356 Speedster, do not let this opportunity pass you by. Enjoy the fall driving season and be ready for the first days of spring next year: you cannot own a more fun Sports Car!
