Porsche 356 B 1600

The larger windscreen of the T6 transformed the whole character of the cabin. The interior appeared lighter and more spacious, and visibility was greatly improved. The shorter, chromed gear lever produced a more precise feel to the gear changes. In essence, the 356B remained true to Ferry Porsche’s philosophy of “leaving well alone if it works.” Its reputation for reliability and longevity became legendary.

The 356B is complete with its Porsche Certificate of authenticity, which shows that it was supplied new by Competition Porsche of Culver City, USA in June 1963. Registered in the UK in 2014, the car underwent a full restoration with Porsche Centre Swindon and marque experts Frances Tuthill in 2015. After sale, OPC Swindon have continued to maintain the 356B, and significant sums have been regularly spent in order to maintain the car in top condition. This example is testament to the expert care expended and offers a real opportunity for a new owner to benefit from the attention to original details employed in its restoration.
