Description:

The Porsche 356 is Porsche’s first production model. In the 1960 model year, the 356 A was replaced by the completely revised 356 B (T5). All 356 generations were also available in an open-top version (Cabriolet, Speedster or Roadster).

From the 365 A model onwards, particularly sporty variants were given the additional designation ‘Carrera’ and were powered by a so-called ‘Fuhrmann engine’. The Carrera 2 is the top model in the 356 series with an output of 130 hp.

Based on its almost untouched original bodywork, the car was reworked in detail. The technical overhaul was carried out by the renowned specialist Karl Hloch, who completely overhauled the engine. The vehicle is extensively documented, with numerous invoices and receipts as well as the Porsche Kardex available.

According to the available documents, this car, which was coachworked by the Reutter company, was delivered to its first owner, a coffee roaster manufacturer from near Turin, on 9 March 1963 via the Porsche Autogerma branch in Bologna, Italy. The current paintwork in the colour ruby red corresponds to the delivery. Over the years, the engine has been replaced with an engine of the same type.

A good opportunity to acquire a very original vehicle with the factory-installed electric sunroof as well as a traceable history and outstanding technology.
