Porsche 356 B 1600 Super 90 Roadster

Recognizing the original owner’s passion for it, there is a monumental file of original documents including manuals and service booklet. The former owner regrets that during shipping from Germany the original tool kit and jack were misplaced (stolen?) and it now has a one year later complete tool roll and jack supplied by the shipper at the time. The camber compensator was factory installed. There are two sets of California license plates, orange as originally registered and black as replaced by the California DMV in 1963. The square weave carpets are original.

Finished in Ivory (Elfenbein 6004) over Black with a later Black convertible top and full tonneau cover, it has a Blaupunkt Frankfurt multi-band radio with factory installed U.S. frequencies (costing $129.80 in 1960). The seats have factory recline adjustment, a $28.60 option.

Every bodywork component, both visible and underneath, is original and as-delivered in 1960 except for a scrape on the battery box from a curb encounter, another testament to its benign life in dry California and the sole owner’s care and attention.

Equally desirable as an occasional weekend driver to carve up winding hill roads or as a preservation class entrant at shows, this is a superlative 356B Porsche Super 90 Roadster in one of Porsche’s most desirable and sought body styles. It embodies Porsche passion extending over six decades of single ownership and meticulous preservation.
And it drives as expected: in a word, “great”.
