Very nice example of a Porsche 356B in its 1. 6l "Super 90" version. A car that has the peculiarity of having been delivered new to the Swiss importer AMAG, today one of Porsche's largest partners. Their collaboration, begun in the 1950s with the first 356A, has grown in success over the years.
This car was bought in Cannes on the Côte d'Azur in 1971 by the current owner. A gift for his 18th birthday! More than 50 years later he is proud to tell us that it was his first car, bought from a young woman who stayed at the Eden Roc at Cap d'Antibes.
A discerning Porsche collector, he has looked after it all his life.
The bodywork is presented very well. A fresh coat of paint was applied in 2009. It is Matching colour #608 Silver Metallic.
All the chrome and aesthetic logos are original and in very good condition. The car was on the ramp which allowed us to confirm there is no corrosion in the sills and rockers.
The interior is in its original condition, fairly well preserved. The original-pattern imitation leather seats show some typical wear with no serious issues. The headlining is in excellent condition. The instrumentation is functional.
Mechanically, it has been maintained as it should be. The owner, owning other Porsches, is a seasoned expert and connoisseur of the marque.
In 2009, he decided to rebuild the engine completely. Cylinders, pistons, rings, bearings and valves, the whole was revised and restored.
The gearbox has also been opened as well as the clutch for a full kit change (disc, release bearing, mechanism).
Since the complete overhaul, the car has covered only 5000 km.
For sale, a complete revision of the car was carried out:
- engine, gearbox and differential oil changes
- all filters
- new spark plugs and contact points
- Carburetion: complete cleaning of the two original SOLEX carburettors and re-synchronisation
- Braking system: replacement of linings, wheel cylinders, master brake cylinder
- Complete new exhaust system and original-conforming
- 4 new tyres
- Complete lubrication
A car true to its origin, well cared for, whose particular history makes it a sought-after example. The driving pleasure offered by the Super 90 version also makes it a pleasant car to drive, more versatile than the early 356As.
