The 356 was the first production Porsche. It was manufactured in Stuttgart from 1948 to 1965. The 356 A, introduced in 1955, featured a one-piece curved windshield, a revised suspension, and a more powerful engine. The bodies were built by Reutter.
This example was built in 1956. The current owner imported the car from Switzerland in 2014. As a body shop owner, he subsequently undertook a complete restoration of the car. This restoration is documented in the expert report with photos of the restoration process.
The car was restored about ten years ago and remains in excellent condition, both cosmetically and mechanically.
The body is in very good condition. The beige paint is smooth and in good condition. Only a few minor flaws are visible in the “imperfections” section on our website. The chrome trim is in good condition and the seals are new. The wheels are in good condition. The spare tire is included.
The interior is in very good condition. The burgundy faux leather upholstery is in excellent condition. The floor mats and door panels match and are also in good condition. The ivory-colored steering wheel and the dashboard are painted to match the body color, with a red upper section.
The mechanical components have been completely restored. The engine compartment is clean and well-maintained, with red padding. The engine number, P 62165, corresponds to a 1600 Type 616/1. The cylinders, pistons, bearings, and gaskets have been replaced, and the transmission was overhauled several years ago. The engine starts cold and runs normally, without noise or smoke. The transmission and clutch operate normally. The car is equipped with front disc brakes (replacing the original drum brakes) and rear drum brakes.
