Porsche 356 A 1600

Cabriolet, 1958

Highlights

  • Rare convertible from the A series
  • Sympathetic patina
  • In one hand for 24 years

Vintage cars with a natural patina are now more sought after than newly restored ones. Man has learned that a classic that has aged gracefully and tells its story can be more valuable than a visually new one with no signs of life. Patina and history make vehicles unique, irretrievable and charming. Perfect if, like the 356A Cabriolet offered here, they also have good substance and excellent technology.

The vehicle in detail

This extraordinary Porsche 356 was delivered on November 15th, 1958 as a 1959 model T2 via the Porsche agency Raffay & Co in Hamburg. Vehicles from the T2 series are particularly sought-after because they represent the last expansion stage of the extremely elegant A-model and have undergone considerable technical optimization compared to the T1 series, which immensely improves driving pleasure.
From the factory the car was aquamarine blue with brown leatherette, today it is ivory with brown leather. According to the Porsche delivery confirmation, it was fitted ex works with Conti-Record tires on chrome-plated perforated disc wheels and an engine output of 75 hp.

The collected documents show the history from the year 1987.
On April 9, 1987, the Porsche was registered in the name of Jerry Watkins in San Diego (California).
On January 2, 1988, Luis Gonzales, also a San Diego resident, purchased the car.
On January 8, 1999, Luis Gonzales sold his Porsche to a California dealer.
On January 11, 1999, the current owner from the Freiburg area bought the car from this Californian dealer through our mediation and imported it to Germany.
Customs clearance was carried out on March 3, 1999.
On May 6, 1999 a registration document was issued, on May 14, 1999 the car was registered to the current owner.
Since it was imported to Germany, the Porsche has only been repaired and maintained by well-known specialist workshops. In 1999, a small amount of bodywork and technical work was carried out for the TÜV approval.
In 2000, the engine and transmission were repaired and the speedometer was converted from miles to kilometers. Both jobs were carried out by our partner companies.
Since its time in Germany, the Porsche has driven an average of 600-700 kilometers a year, around 15,000 kilometers in total. In addition to technical repairs such as overhauling the steering knuckles, a contemporary Blaupunkt radio with Hirschmann antenna was installed and regular maintenance work was carried out.
This extraordinary Porsche is still in good condition with a charming patina and excellent technology and is available for 149,900 euros for you and the new season.
