How often is Porsche Experience holding a morning cars & coffee?
Very cool! 
It is once a month, 1st Saturday of the month. It starts at 8:00 AM, however, since the gate will only be opened at 8:00 AM, people are lining up around the block way earlier than that. I just parked outside and walk inside as I have no patience to wait to get in with the car.
Is that one a Toyota 2000 GT? How did it sneak in, if so.

Thank you Karyadi. I didnt think the C&C at that place would be that popular.

It's a Toyota, but not a 2000 GT. That was their first attempt at a sports car. Targa top with a 2-cylinder engine. I can't remember the name of it.
Officially the Morning Shift is open for all make and models, however, it seems that they have themes for different months. Of course they are mostly Porsches showing up, however, I have seen some other cars, like 240Z, Lambo, Camaro, Mustang, Mercedes, etc. Interestingly, if you see any Speedster there, most likely they are our kind

@Karyadi so these are replica?

That gray Speedster looks like the replica DrClock finished for last year's Carlisle event. Did it have baseball glove colored interior?
There are a good number of them around with that combo but the one I did last year did go to California.
The Speedster is replica, the coupe is the real one with sunroof. I don't remember the details of the interior. There were at least 3 of the replicas over there, at least one has the umbrella hand brake, however, it was a pan base, so you can tell from the tunnel that it is a replica and the handle of the umbrella hand brake doesn't look like the original.
I went to the event as well saw these speedsters and snapped a pic of owner in speedster mentioned above.

I believe this blue one is a real 356.

The blue one is the real deal. There is a dent in the front. Not sure anyone has gone to the trouble of fiberglassing in a faux dent to add patina.
Watch, now somebody WILL create a faux dent.
My observation is that unless it is a 356 Registry gathering or specifically organized by the real 356 local club, most of the time, if you see a really nice 356 Speedster, it is our kind. However, if you see a 356 with a lot of patina and some dents, it is the a real one.

@Karyadi they had one here seen in Monterey that had a great upholstery as well as the external. I myself thought it was a replica but the owner mentioned it was not.
