The 356 SC is certainly the definitive version of an iconic and important car both for the Porsche factory and for the automotive panorama of the time, benefiting from over fifteen years of technical evolution.
The powerful power-to-weight ratio with its 95 horsepower and four disc brakes immediately make the previous version look ten years older, and give the possibility of using a 356 with the same grit and ease that can be appreciated in the first 911s. The low production number gives it the status of a special model that Porsche is so keen on today with limited edition models produced in much higher numbers.
According to the Porsche certificate, this 356 was released in 1965 for the German domestic market, with the color specification Irish grün and black leather upholstery. Today the car is presented in its original Irish grün color but for the upholstery a beige leather was chosen. After an initial unknown period, the car was purchased in the 90s in the Canary Islands and underwent an initial restoration (the whole process documented), It is thought that during that period the engine was replaced because it was too deteriorated and an engine of the same type and series (KD numbers) from 1965 was mounted, not far from the original numbering, repainting and opting for a pastel blue colour and subsequently used daily, especially in the summer.
