Porsche 356 Roadster – The Soul of the Brand

The Porsche 356 Roadster was the first production version of the 356. This particular example was built in July 1960, bearing chassis number 88.2—, and was first delivered in California. A total of 1,469 units were produced in 1960. It features a 1.6-liter Type 616/1 engine, producing 60 hp, with engine number 603—-, paired with a Type 741/2 gearbox (number 388—). The car retains its original color, Etna Blue (code 6003), and is a matching-numbers example!

The vehicle in detail

The body has been fully restored, with detailed documentation of the process. The interior and convertible top have also been completely refurbished.

A True Porsche Icon

The Porsche 356 is the very soul of the brand. Driving one is an experience every Porsche enthusiast should have at least once in their life. Sixty horsepower may sound modest, but once in motion, the car feels incredibly light and agile thanks to its low weight.

Jordi’s Opinion

Every kilometer in a 356 is a genuine experience. While it’s not the most practical choice for club events or long weekend trips, it’s certainly not impossible either. The Roadster was originally intended to be a more affordable version of the Cabriolet — but in the end, it became one of the most beautiful lines in the entire 356 range, arguably rivaled only by the legendary 550 Spyder.

This body style was built by Drauz, the same company that produced the 356 A bodies, earning Porsche an excellent reputation even before the Reutter-bodied cars from Stuttgart.

With only a few units ever produced, Drauz-built Roadsters are now highly valued and increasingly rare.

This example is perfect for any collector or Porsche enthusiast seeking the most nostalgic and pure expression of the brand’s heritage.
