The Convertible D was produced for just one year with 1,331 examples built from 1958 through 1959. They had the low-slung body and chassis from the Speedster with a taller windshield, roll-up glass side windows, and a tidier fit for the convertible top.
This particular example was purchased by its current owner in the early 1980s. It was a matching-numbers example with 56,291 miles. It was then put into storage for the next three decades before it was given a ground-up, concours-level restoration. The body and paint were finished in Porsche's original shade of Ivory. The interior was re-trimmed in black and a new convertible top was installed.By Daniel Vaughan | Dec 2017
