Cool Porsche 959 Speedster

These are scans (not great ones, but they'll do for now) from the February 1990 issue of Sports Car International I have.

I'm not sure how many folks were aware of this car.

Re: Porsche 959 Speedster

Glad you liked it. If I have the time, I'll scan more articles...I have a hefty stack of mags from about 1989 to present.

I am wondering, do you have any articles of the regular 959, either in "sport" or "comfort" guise? They seem hard to come by.

Re: Porsche 959 Speedster

Now that is a rare ride. I''m going to read the article later and hopefully it states how many were produced.

Re: Porsche 959 Speedster

I need to go now, but I'll be back later and I'll have a look at it. Looks awesome.

Thanks given.
