Porsche 356 B 1600 Super

Het voertuig in detail

The T-5 models were produced between September 1959 and August 1961, and the new T-6 design from September 1961 until roadster production ended in July 1963. The T-5 roadsters built by Drauz have a single ventilation grille on their engine lids, while the T-6 cars are easily identified by a flatter hood and the relocation of the gas filler to the top of the right front fender. To clear its assembly lines for the soon-to-be-launched 356 C, Porsche sent its remaining T-6 roadsters to D’Ieteren, its Belgian distributor, for completion. These roadsters can be immediately spotted by their unique twin grilles in the engine lid.
Research shows this T-6 roadster, chassis 89753, spent most of its life in California. Early owners include a Dr. Ralph Harder, followed by Bob Davidson. Later, the car entered the possession of Brian Burnett, where it later exchanged hands with Neil McSwain. Documents show that the car passed through noted specialists European Collectibles of Costa Mesa, California, and Classic Showcase in Oceanside. Later ownership history shows the car spent time in the Oldenburg collection before having exchanged hands in August 2011.
