Not Porsche. Abarth. |

Well, ther WAS a Porsche Abarth (very early Porsche, pre-356, 1,000 cc engine, developped in co-operation), but it was a coupe. Could this be the spyder/speedster version? |

This was this one: http://www.fiat-abarth.net/porsche.html I think this is not an Abarth. Couldn't find anything. |

This is a [Porsche] Glockler Spyder from the early 50s. There are two pictures of this car (with the '77' and the horizontal stripe across the front hood) in the 1977 book "Porsche: The 4-Cylinder, 4-Cam Sports & Racing Cars" by Jerry Sloniger. The caption to the picture reads "Glocker Spyder brought into U.S. by Max Hoffman, later ran at Torrey Pines, California in 1952, driven by Ed Trego." These were homebuilt specials by Walter Glockler in Frankfurt which inspired Porsche to build their later Spyders. They were not built by the Porsche factory. This car is not an Abarth product. Here's the story of these cars: Link to "www.conceptcarz.com" Since these were handbuilt specials, they all have different bodies. This movie is one of my all-time favorites because they used footage of actual races in the SoCal area and show some really rare and interesting cars. |

Seems to be Glockler #2, at one of two Torrey Pines meetings in late 52 with #77 - http://www.racingsportscars.com/type/archive/Glöckler/Nr.2.html - though driven by Karl Brocken. |
