The 1962 356B Twin-Grille Roadster represents the culmination of an idea that began in 1954 when Porsche unveiled the 356 Speedster. Lightweight and relatively inexpensive, the Speedster was Porsche's entry-level model, foregoing such niceties as a radio, glove box and roll-up windows. In 1959, the Speedster was updated with windows (rather than side curtains) and sold as the 356A Convertible D, and in 1960, was unveiled as the Roadster with a T-5 Model body shell, chrome windshield and lightweight convertible top.
In 1962, the final iteration, 248 'Twin Grille' Roadsters were produced, using the T-6 body shell found in the 356C series and assembled in Belgium.
