Originally finished in Meissen Blue, the car was refinished in black during its no-expense-spared restoration by Porsche specialists, Stoddard Imported Cars of Willoughby, Ohio in 1989, which also included re-trimming the interior in black leather. A vast amount of time and money was spent on the restoration, as evidenced by the numerous bills on file. The Speedster's owners at that time were Richard and Shirley Gobba, who appear to have owned it since the early 1980s up to recently. This lovely Porsche 356 Speedster was featured on their Christmas cards, some of which are on file. After its restoration, the car was shown on several occasions, including at the Speedster 50th Anniversary meeting at Laguna Seca in 2004. An older restoration to the highest standards that holds up very well even today, this wonderful Porsche 356A Speedster is offered with a selection of restoration photographs; correspondence between Stoddard and Richard Gobba and the aforementioned invoices.
