THE VEHICLE
The brainchild of Ferdinand “Ferry” Porsche, the Porsche 356 remains today as one of the most iconic cars in the world. The 356 was a four-cylinder, air-cooled, rear-engine, rear-wheel drive car utilising unitised pan and body construction.
Out of the 76,000 different variants produced between 1948 – 1965 (well after the introduction of the 911) very few remain on the road and this 356a coupe is an extremely rare build.
Optioned from the factory with a sunroof and bench seats, this matching number Porsche is a gem and has undergone a full nut and bolt restoration making it better than the day it left the factory!

Every last part of this Porsche has been replaced or restored to its original condition including having the entire engine removed and disassembled.
The current owner of this car had one goal in mind and that was to bring this car to museum standard! Everything in this car is virtually brand new and the entire rebuild has been documented.
BODYWORK & INTERIOR
As evident from the pictures and video – every part of this 356 is immaculate without a single blemish to the paintwork.
The stunning red interior is as clean as the outside without any marks to the leather seats or to the impeccable dashboard, which is guaranteed to leave you smiling and feeling like a Hollywood movie star.
The exhaust of this 356 is integrated in to the bumper and when you start this beautiful car there is a special surprise that can be seen in the video footage (we promise it won’t disappoint!).
WHEELS
All 4 wheels of this 356 are concourse and correct to the standard of when they left the factory in chrome.
