Porsche 356 A 1600

The vehicle in detail

The car benefits from a substantial restoration completed during 2007. The body restoration was undertaken by respected marque specialist Cliff Gregory before final assembly and completion by renowned Porsche 356 authority Roger Bray. Accompanying the vehicle is an extensive history file containing restoration invoices, detailed records and photographs documenting the work carried out. The quality of the restoration is evident throughout, with exceptional bodywork, excellent panel fit and precise shut lines.

As a transitional T1/T2 example, the car retains a fascinating combination of features including early style door handles with later buttons, the higher mounted T1 door catch arrangement and desirable teardrop rear lights. These subtle details highlight its position between two important stages of 356 development and contribute significantly to its appeal amongst knowledgeable enthusiasts.

Having covered just over 2,000 miles since completion of the restoration, much of which was accumulated whilst touring around the Italian Lakes, the car presents superbly today and remains exceptionally well preserved.

A rare opportunity to acquire a highly attractive right-hand drive Porsche 356 Coupe with fascinating provenance, specialist restoration history and desirable factory options. A beautifully restored and exceptionally well documented example of one of Porsche’s most iconic early models.
