Originally delivered by Hoffman Motors, New York, New York finished in Ivory with a Black interior. This is the 341st Roadsters, of 1,528 T5 Roadsters build in 1960. Completed March 21, 1960, by Drauz. Very nice older restoration with a strong running factory KD “Super” 1600cc engine (P85129 built in late 1959 for 1960), 741 manual 4-speed transmission and four-wheel drum braking system. Solid floor pans & battery box, good gaps & panel fit with a straight & solid body. Very nice turn-key driving 356 Roadster that has been well maintained and cared for over the past 40 years of past ownership! A true joy to drive. Roadsters of all years have become highly collectible, and hard to find. A great opportunity offered at a very reasonable price.

The vehicle in detail

History

Porsche’s popular 356 Roadster was introduced for the 1960 model year as a replacement of the one-year-only Convertible D, the Speedster’s more civilized successor. The new T-5 Roadster brought several marked changes in appearance: The front fenders and headlamps were raised, as were both the front and rear bumpers, to better deal with urban parking. New vertical bumper guards also helped in that respect. New brake-cooling intakes were added to the nose below the front bumper. There were new cast-aluminum Alfin brake drums with iron liners, and the brakes had improved sealing to repel water.

The new Roadster shared many of the comfort attributes of the Convertible D, including roll-up windows, comfortable seats, and a well-constructed convertible top with a tan-painted frame and wraparound plastic rear window. For those with competition in mind, the windshield could be removed, and Roadsters, like the Speedster and Convertible D, soon became popular in amateur sports car racing around the world.
