Sizeable history file including many bills from Specialists Roger Bray
Subject of an extensive engine rebuild circa 5, 000 miles ago
Original colour combination
Matching numbers example
Produced on 16th June 1964 and supplied new through Porsche main dealer Schultz Düsseldorf, this highly appealing Porsche 356C Coupe is offered in its original and desirable colour combination of Ruby Red coachwork trimmed with a black leatherette interior, which has been tastefully enhanced with period style houndstooth seat inserts. A matching numbers example, it is accompanied by a Porsche Certificate of Authenticity confirming its provenance and specification. Mechanically, the Porsche presents well, having been the subject of an extensive engine rebuild in 2016, completed approximately 5, 000 miles ago. The engine bay is well presented, the mechanical components appear in good order, and it drives well, offering the engaging and characterful driving experience for which the 356 is rightly celebrated. Cosmetically, the car wears its years with honesty. The paintwork displays an attractive patina, with areas of crazing and age related blemishes evident throughout the bodywork. The interior remains in good condition and complements the car’s authentic character. As such, it presents an appealing choice for enthusiasts who appreciate originality and patina, while also offering scope for a future cosmetic restoration should the next custodian wish to return the bodywork to a higher standard.
Benefiting from a substantial history file, including numerous invoices documenting ongoing maintenance and servicing, many bills from renowned Porsche 356 specialists Roger Bray, a collection of historic Mot test certificates, together with the current UK registration document. A genuine matching numbers 356C in its original colour scheme, with a documented engine rebuild, extensive maintenance history and appealing, usable character. Showing 45, 851 Kms on the odometer, this is an opportunity to acquire one of Porsche’s most iconic models either to preserve and enjoy as is or to further enhance over time.
