Porsche 356 C 2000 GS Carrera 2

In late 2022, European Collectibles was commissioned to inspect the Carrera 2. The paintwork is nearly three decades old, it still presents well with even gaps and panel fit. As a testament to the preservation and originality of the body, the inner structure, rear engine compartment, and front trunk area retain factory insulation. All the original glass, factory brightwork, and soft top frame have survived. The interior is trimmed in black leatherette, complete with front seats, rear seats, a dashboard, VDO instruments, and door panels. A wood Les Leston steering sits ahead of factory VDO instrumentation with an AM/FM Cassette radio. Date-coded 2/64 Lemmerz 4 ½” x 15” chrome wheels are fitted to Michelin 165 SR15 tires. Due to its long life in climate-controlled storage, the undercarriage remains exceptionally condition with no indications of rust.

Mechanically powered by a period-correct 2.0L four-cam engine (Type 587/1). The Carrera 2 is not currently running and driving. However, the 4-cam engine has been run on an engine stand and a video was made. On January 4, 2023, a compression test was performed, and we found excellent compression results – Cylinder 1 – 200 psi, Cylinder 2 – 200 psi, Cylinder 3 – 200 psi, Cylinder 4 – 205 psi. Power is delivered to the rear wheels through a 4-speed manual transmission (Type 741) with a four-wheel disc braking system. Complete with jack, partial tool kit, BN4 gas heater (No. 1519), Kardex, and boot cover. An incredibly rare opportunity to acquire one of the most desirable 356C 4-Cam Carrera 2 models to restore.
