Mark Harrison, co-founder of ‘Total Headturners’, shared with Robb Report that the idea
of a Retro-modern 356 Speedster replica came from clients who had bought 356 Replicas,
but didn’t mind the idea of modern amenities. This Iconic Autobody (387) is the perfect
blend of ‘classic looks with usability’ that comes with a more modern drivetrain.
And if you think, this is a lot of money? Just remind yourself that an original 356 Speedster
is slower, doesn’t drive as well, and is less usable? For nearly $1.0 million?
R13 CSM is a truly, one off, show-winning, Porsche Spyder that, literally, ‘drops Jaws’
wherever it goes and regularly upsets many a modern ‘Supercar’ at traffic lights!
At the very high end of the, ‘Reimagined Porsche Modern’ market, sits Porsche Singer.
If you prefer an older look, Porsche 356? There are Starke Speedster. Both are super high
end and American made. A bespoke Singer Porsche will set you back £1-1.5 million (GBP)
with a 3-4 year waiting list. Used Singer Porsche are very rarely sold (1993 Green Porsche
Singer 911 4.0 2dr for sale for £989,995 in Westminster, Middlesex).

SPEEDSTER – Starke Speedster & Singer Vehicle Design | Restored. Reimagined. Reborn.
Previously owned, Iconic Autobody Porsche, are also rarely sold. With, just one Porsche
Iconic Autobody 387 currently advertised in the UK (G/Kirby £75K). Proud owners tend to
hang onto them.

Only a handful of pre-owned Autobody Porsche have been sold these past 3/5 years. All
were lower specification: 2.5 & 2.7 litre, Tiptronic, Autobody 386 models.
The Autobody 387 Spyder Spyder Turrets got me! My heart was set on a 387 Spyder,
manual transmission. As the car I would be replacing, was a 911 turbo, it had to be a 3.2s
Power Unit! Fully Loaded (3.2 Manual). pre-owned, 387 Porsche Iconic Autobody’s are like
hens teeth! When they do pop up, they, quickly, disappear.

Investment
Rare cars tend to increase in value Pre-used, Autobody Porsche represent excellent value
for money £ for £ future proof investment, especially, when compared with, Porsche
Singer or Starke Speedster. Incredibly good value for an affordable investment.
Spectacularly presented, inside and out and a true ‘drivers’ Porsche. Light-weight, balanced
& Agile. Bullet proof, six speed, manual transmission, significantly weight reduced, that
squeezes the very best out of the Porsche 3.2s six cylinder power unit.
Driving is a pure joy! Roof down it is spectacular with an incredible engine/exhaust note
under load. With an easy, fully electric roof, no need to worry about our unpredictable,
British weather.
