The question is easy... What about the answer?
It's the white car in the front. It's clearly a Porsche 356, but with a bodywork I do not recognize...
Do you?
First I thought it was an America Roadster, but the lines are off; especially the top line of the door and the rear part. It's not so curved as the America Roadster. Furthermore the rim of the fairing behind the seats is much wider than on the America Roadster and the fairing begins directly behind the doors, where there is more space behind the door until the fairing on the America Roadster.
And the bumper guards look a lot as Chesil used on its 2003 Speedster 2 'limited edition':
Haven't seen those on an original 356... Have you? If yes: which one? |

Based on what looks like copious rust on the car in the photo, I would say it is not an Aluminum Sport (a/k/a America) Roadster. The only other guess is a bastardized Speedster of some sort.  |

Well, it is probably an "A" or earlier Porsche. You can tell by the inner door structure. Probably a Speedster that has been rebodied after accident(s). |
