Porsche 356 B 1600 Super

Das Fahrzeug im Detail

Available directly from Stuart Garage, the restorer, this beautifully restored 1959 Porsche 356 B T5 1600 Super is finished in its original Fjord Green with red leather and corduroy interior. This matching-numbers example has undergone a complete nut-and-bolt restoration, carried out in-house with a focus on authenticity, precision, and long-term reliability.

Originally delivered to the director of the Kronprinz factory in Germany – suppliers of Porsche’s early lightweight steel wheels – this car combines unique provenance with rare factory options:

• Golde manual sunroof – highly sought-after and seldom seen
• Speedster-style chrome side trim – rarely found on coupe models
• 75 hp “Super” engine, fully rebuilt, along with the original transmission
• Every component carefully restored, with original parts preserved wherever possible
• Original chrome parts re-plated to concours standard, even where new replacements would have been cheaper
• Reutter factory certificate, original German Fahrzeugbrief, and early Porsche specification sheet with first service records
• Comprehensive photo documentation of the restoration
• Will be registered on historic plates
• Delivered with a full mechanical guarantee

This early B-series car features the distinctive T5 body, with its single grille, smaller rear window reminiscent of the A-model, and slimmer rear section. These details give the T5 a more classic and refined appearance compared to the later T6 and C models.
