Driving the Porsche 356 Speedster
This Speedster is a replica built by PGO, and that is exactly why it is so easy to live with. It is low and light, and its 60 horsepower is plenty: the point is not speed but the feeling of sitting almost on the tarmac, elbow on the door, behind a windscreen so short you seem to look over it rather than through it. The manual gearbox has no bad habits and the car threads through narrow streets with a fingertip. A Speedster's hood is basic, made to get you out of a shower rather than for touring, so think of this as a fair weather car. Luggage space means one soft bag each. It suits couples who want the look of a 356 without the nerves of driving a period original.
Where to drive it
Cap d'Antibes is best taken slowly. Start in Juan-les-Pins, run along the beach on boulevard Charles Guillaumont, then follow the coast round the cape to Garoupe beach. Climb up to the Garoupe plateau for the lighthouse and the view across the Baie des Anges to the Alps, then drop down to the little Olivette harbour and finish in old Antibes by the ramparts and Port Vauban. Hardly any climbing, lots of slow bends and a photo stop at every cove: perfect Speedster country.
