Porsche 356 B 1600 Super Roadster

The vehicle in detail

Although this Porsche’s complete history is not definitively known at present, it appears to have been previously registered by the Fédération Internationale des Véhicules Anciens (FIVA). Offered for sale in Belgium as part of The Willy Michiels Collection, the 356 B is presented in its factory-correct exterior colour of Ruby Red. Furthermore, the car is noted to retain its matching-numbers flat-four engine paired with a replacement manual transmission.

One of approximately only 2,650 total units of the T5-generation 356 B 1600 Super Roadster built between 1959 and 1961—with as few as 350 cars allocated to 1960—this attractively specified example, which features its correct engine and paint colour, is sure to find favour with Porsche enthusiasts.

Please note, most of the vehicles in The Willy Michiels Collection have been retained on static display for many years. As such, some cars and motorcycles will require mechanical servicing to be made roadworthy. As part of this estate sale, the vehicles are offered in their condition as found, and wherever possible RM Sotheby’s encourages prospective buyers to inspect any lots prior to bidding. Please contact an RM Sotheby’s Car Specialist for the condition of specific lots or with any further questions.
