Re: [MBZ] Speedster lift
Very pretty! Really nice work Roger! We used to see the odd one around here in the Summer, but their values have taken most of them off the road, so they only show up at shows, cruises, and club events now. Always a treat to see one that has been restored properly.

[MBZ] Speedster lift

Re: [MBZ] Speedster
The old Speedsters were originally made as a less expensive version of the 356 - it was stripped of many comforts with a windshield 1/2 the height of the original and it sold for $3495. $2995. Designed and built thanks to the efforts of Max Hoffman. I haven't seen one over 100Gs yet, but they are getting close. RLE

Hi there, I got the $3495 price from a RT road test (http://members.rennlist.com/roadtest/) - but that price includes the optional 1500S engine with 84bhp for an extra $500. Pretty good in a 2150# car. Yeah, it appears my comment about 6 figure Speedsters was an exaggeration.
