Porsche 356 A 1600

Cabriolet, 1959

Highlights

  • Meissen Blue
  • Fully restored
  • Matching Numbers & Colors

This 356A cabriolet is a model with American specifications, according to its Kardex, and was completed on 5 February 1959. Like many others at the time, the car was sold by the Hoffman dealership, based in New York. Finished in its original colour 5703 Meissen Blue, with a red imitation leather interior and black canvas hood, the car left the factory fitted with sealed headlights to American specifications and bumpers with protective covers. The bright blue paintwork highlights an extremely straight body with excellent contours and perfect panel fit.

The vehicle in detail

Specifications:
1,600 cc flat 4 engine, 60 hp
4-speed manual gearbox
Meissen Blue #5703 exterior; red imitation leather interior
First MOT: 05/02/1959
Mileage: 94,000 kilometres on the clock
Chassis number: 151663

The car comes with its original removable hard top, finished in contrasting white (not included in the price). The hard top was manufactured by Karmann and offered by Porsche from 1958 onwards. Once installed, it closely resembles the more recent Karmann “Notchback” coupés. A 1959 factory accessories catalogue advertised the hardtop at a factory retail price of $170. Many convertibles delivered with a hardtop, particularly in Europe, were not equipped with a folding fabric top, making this example even more unique.

Not much is known about the history of this car, except that it has its original gearbox and engine. The last owner purchased the car in 2016 with 82,016 kilometres on the clock. The current owner bought the car in 2022 and has since maintained it with care. The car was completely restored and completed at the end of 2015. This restoration was carried out by George Wilkie, an American 356 specialist from Meisterwerk.

This is a rare, high-quality Porsche 356A T2 Cabriolet in an attractive colour combination, for enthusiasts looking for open-top driving pleasure or other club activities.
