Description
This Porsche 356 was purchased in 2016 following an extensive search for a car that now numbers fewer than 400 globally of the 1331 cars originally produced. This followed the production of the Porsche Speedster but now incorporated a retractable roof and wind up windows along with a slight less raked windscreen. The car was purchased in Melbourne as part of a broader collection and was essentially found completely stripped into parts recovered in a series of boxes.
Jason Carol was selected to restore the car which involved a detailed 3-year nut and bolt restoration.
The car is true in all respects to the original excluding the desire of the current owner to have a right hand drive conversion. The car was recently selected as “Best 356” at the 2021 356 Club ‘Picnic with Porsches’ show at Como Melbourne.
