Il veicolo in dettaglio

The exterior body is currently in primer and is basically complete with the components, as seen in the photo gallery, including exterior trim, bumpers, bumper guards, lighting fixtures, and an original bent-window soft-top frame. The cabin is equipped with front seats, a steering wheel, an ashtray, door panels, and kick panels. Additional components comprise of the rearview mirror, window winders, door glass, and other related items. 16-inch date-coded wheels are fitted with Dunlop tires. The undercarriage is solid and rust-free.

The project is mechanically complete, featuring the original Normal 1500cc engine that is disassembled, a manual 4-speed transmission, and a four-wheel drum braking system. Additional engine components include crankshaft, pistons and cylinders, fan shroud, starter, generator, peddle assembly, distributor, flywheel, valve covers, Knecht air cleaners, and engine tin. Complete with a Porsche Kardex and a spare tire. This is a very rare opportunity to acquire a Pre-A Cabriolet project.

The earliest 356s were built at Porsche’s facility in Gmünd, Austria, but by 1950, the firm had outgrown the one-time sawmill, and production was transferred to Zuffenhausen. Coachwork was entrusted to Reutter and formed from steel rather than aluminum. The Pre-356 Cabriolet joined the line-up that same year, and while relatively spartan, the model underwent steady mechanical and cosmetic improvement. By 1953, the 356 boasted mounted bumpers, a one-piece “bent” windscreen (to replace the previous split-window arrangement), a synchromesh gearbox, and the option of a larger capacity 1500cc air-cooled flat-four engine that offered a marked increase in performance. These early Porsche 356s were retrospectively dubbed ‘Pre-A’ upon the arrival of the 356 A Type-1 in 1955.
