The 356 was Porsche's first production automobile and was the foundation vehicle for the iconic 911. Designed by Ferdinand ‘Ferry’ Porsche, it was a lightweight and nimble handling, rear-engine, rear-wheel-drive 2 door sports car available in hardtop or convertible configurations.
This matching numbers 356B features the updated T5 body type with chrome horn grilles featuring twin slats, the handle on the ‘frunk’ tapered towards the bottom with the Porsche crest, headlights positioned higher up and teardrop shape taillights with integrated indicators.
This delightful Right hand Drive conversion, early Porsche was restored in 2000 with photos to document this and presents in Silver with contrasting Red leather interior, complete with correct period Blaupunkt radio. The chrome wheels and hubcaps set the 356 off beautifully.
On the road it drives well, has a nice tight feel and good good performance from the motor and gearbox. Mechanically standard, the coupe has travelled around 10,000 miles since restoration.
The timeless design of the 356 is appreciated by all enthusiasts, an iconic model of the Porsche marque that you can enjoy to the fullest.
