The vehicle in detail

A letter from Porsche Car Distributors Hollywood, California dated June 7, 1960, stated that the Porsche factory had agreed to have the 356 repainted free of charge. Amazing history with paper working and a logbook from 1959 to 1981. Mr. Andreoli owned the 356 for 45 years until 2004, the original owner sold his 356 to a well-known Southern California 356 enthusiast and collector, who kept this 356 for the past 16 years and eventually restored it with some of the best 356 experts in Southern California.

One of the most original, surviving 356A Coupes that we have seen, restored to the highest level by some of the best 356 experts in the world. Beautiful paint, interior, and brightwork restored to concour condition. Original body and floor pans, with perfect panel fit and gaps. All matching numbers with stampings in front hood, engine lid, and doors. Date stamped fuel tank, fuel sender, instruments, wheels, and other parts are all visible.
