Porsche 356 cabriolet Fully restored condition 1963
General description :
The first Porsche 356 saw the light of day on the 8th June 1948 in the Austrian town of Gmünd built by Ferry Porsche, the son of Ferdinand Porsche. Porsche has a long history of model longevity. The Porsche 356 amazingly stayed in production until 1965, the year its successor, the 911, stood in the starting blocks. Between 1948 and 1965 76,313 examples of the various 356’s were produced. Amongst the documentation a letter from Porsche to the Rotgger family from Hagen, Germany, shows us that this car was supplied to them midway through 1963. The car is thus an original European supplied car, a 1600 Super, and one of the last 356 B’s built. The car remained in Germany until 2009 when it entered the Netherlands and registered to the first of two Dutch owners. On arrival in the Netherlands it underwent a full overhaul and restoration. Photos show just how detailed this restoration was. Today this Porsche 356 is still in prime condition as is borne out by the good bodywork and chassis condition as well as the way it drives. It has a superb quality “Albert Blue” finish which is matched by the quality of the interior trim with nice dark grey carpets and a couple of perfectly moulded RF Tornio bucket seats, that not only sit well but also have been reupholstered in leather and compliment the whole quite nicely. You steer using a wonderful Nardi wooden steering wheel. Everything in this car works as expected. The engine runs really well and the gearbox shifts supplely and sure-footed. The latest invoice dates from 2019. In short, this is a very well maintained and beautifully presented Porsche 356 convertible; ready for many more thousands of kilometres Old-timer pleasure.

About Porsche 356
The Porsche 356 is an iconic sports car that was produced from 1948 to 1965. It is considered to be the first production car to bear the Porsche name and is known for its unique design and exceptional performance.The 356 was initially designed by Ferdinand Porsche in the late 1940s as a lightweight and nimble sports car that could be used for racing. The first prototypes were built using Volkswagen components, as Porsche was still closely associated with the German automaker at the time. However, the final design of the 356 was a significant departure from the VW Beetle, and featured a sleek, aerodynamic body that was both beautiful and functional.
Over the years, the 356 evolved through several iterations, each of which added new features and improved performance. The early models were powered by a 1.1-liter flat-four engine that produced around 40 horsepower, while later models featured larger engines with up to 130 horsepower.
Despite its humble beginnings, the Porsche 356 quickly became a favorite among driving enthusiasts, both on the road and the racetrack. Its combination of style, performance, and handling made it a true sports car icon, and it helped to establish Porsche as one of the world's leading automakers. Today, the 356 remains a highly sought-after collector's car, with prices that can range from tens of thousands to millions of dollars, depending on the model and condition.
