The 356 was lovingly maintained by each owner and was eventually painted a dark red metallic. Mr. Neilsen was an avid Porsche collector and was well-known among 356 owners. During his ownership, he drove the car almost daily. The only option the 356 lacked that Mr. Neilson desired was a Goldie sunroof. At great expense, he sourced an OEM factory 356A sunroof clip and had it professionally installed. In 2010, he began a restoration. Rather than send it elsewhere for work he was capable of doing, he undertook the task at home and relied on the help of specialists when necessary. It was a fairly straightforward restoration since the body, underside and inner structures were in good shape overall. The metallic burgundy paint it had worn for years was stripped, and the body was sanded and prepared for the Aquamarine Blau paintwork. The paintwork was done quite well and looks more recent than it actually is, however where this 356 really shines is in the trim department. There isn’t a reproduction part on the exterior of this car including the glass, rubber, bumperette, and shine up license plate light with all of the original parts being in fantastic condition.
