Description
A Porsche 356 has been a dream car for pretty much every car enthusiast since the 1950s. Back then as a new car, today as a much-admired classic of German sports car construction. It was the emphatically sporty models in particular, such as the 356 B Roadster offered here, that helped Porsche achieve iconic status as a cult car manufacturer even before the appearance of the 911. The vehicle was fully restored from bare body shell in Germany a few years ago and presents itself in outstanding condition. The perfectly matched chrome parts contrast beautifully with the ruby red colour (Porsche colour number 7002). The black folding soft top is made from high-quality Sonnenland Classic soft top fabric and functions perfectly and smoothly. The open roof can be covered with a tarpaulin also made from Sonnenland Classic soft top fabric. The seats, dashboard cover and door panels are upholstered in the best black leather and not the much cheaper Leatherette artificial leather. The practically crease-free processing of the natural leather material is impressive. It is obvious that a very good master saddler has worked here. The black carpet is made from the correct and expensive hair yarn bouclé, edged in black and neatly laid. The roadster dashboard is a delight with its flowing simplicity and perfect paintwork. The instruments framed by chrome rings with the historic green numerals are beautiful and function perfectly. The three-spoke aluminium steering wheel with its characteristically thin black rim bears the optional horn ring, which Porsche paid extra for back in 1961. The completely overhauled engine produces 90 hp, which makes the 850 kg roadster amazingly sporty to drive - and lets you experience the secret of the Porsche 356. The 4-speed manual gearbox also works perfectly. During the restoration, many parts of the suspension, steering and brake system were restored or replaced to as-new condition. As a result, the car drives perfectly and has wonderful handling. Whether you are driving towards the sunset on a winding country road or picking up bread rolls on a Sunday morning, you will enjoy every kilometre in this Porsche 356 B Roadster. Your very own personal time trip back to 1961. A beautiful and fully restored Porsche 356 B T5 Roadster, the perfect car for the true enthusiast who just wants to get in and drive away. € 169, 000 (sold on behalf of a customer)
