PORSCHE 356 B - 1600 Super Convertible D - 1961 Matching numbers - Fully restored - Porsche Certificate Presented as a transitional model between the simplicity of the Speedster and the comfort of the Cabriolet, the Porsche 356 Convertible D (for Drauz, its coachbuilder) was produced in very small numbers from 1958. It was distinguished by a higher windscreen, hard side windows, a more practical soft top and a more meticulous finish, while retaining the light, sporty DNA of its predecessors. It foreshadowed the 356 B Roadster, while retaining the aesthetics of the A series. Today, it is one of the rarest and most sought-after models in the 356 lineage. The example on offer here is a 1961 Porsche 356 B - Convertible D, powered by the 1600 Super engine (type 616/ 2), delivering 75 bhp. This is a matching numbers version, in a configuration as elegant as it is coherent, Bali Blue on red leather interior. The car underwent a complete restoration in the United States, carried out with rigour and respect for the original, before being imported to France by a collector. The car has covered less than 3, 000 km since then, and all its mechanical and aesthetic features - soft top, upholstery, chrome wheels and instrumentation - have been restored to the highest standards.
Delivered with its Porsche certificate of authenticity, the appraisal report and import documents, this 356 Convertible D represents a rare opportunity to acquire a Porsche icon.
