Overview

The 356 SC represents the pinnacle of the original lineage of Porsche sports cars. The most powerful and most accomplished version of the 356, it came factory-equipped with disc brakes and an engine producing 95 hp. It remains one of the most sought-after air-cooled Porsches. Examples built to the Outlaw philosophy, which combine the model's iconic silhouette with performance upgrades and bespoke details, attract particular attention.

This 1964 example has undergone a complete restoration in the Outlaw style. The shell was stripped to bare metal, with replacement of the floor pan, door pillars, longitudinal chassis rails, door skins and battery tray, before receiving fresh paint in Togo Brown.

The engine has been rebuilt with a 1,720 cc Big Bore kit and a balanced crankshaft. It is paired with a rebuilt four-speed manual gearbox. Fuchs wheels and a Carrera-style engine lid complete the Outlaw look, while a bespoke roll bar adds a sporty touch to the cabin, trimmed in full-grain caramel leather.

The restoration is documented with photographs, and the car comes with an expert appraisal and an inspection carried out by a specialist. Matching numbers are noted. The seller describes the bodywork, paint and mechanicals as first-rate. With only 354 km covered since the work was completed, the engine is still in its running-in period.

BEFORE YOU BUY

This sale is subject to Car & Classic's terms and conditions. By bidding and/or making an offer, you also agree to the following:

✓ The seller is registered as a private seller, which means that the consumer rights arising from European consumer protection legislation do not apply. However, you are still covered by Car & Classic's terms and conditions.

✓ We require that non-refundable fees be paid if you are the winning bidder or if your offer is accepted. Please refer to our FAQs and terms and conditions for specific rates.

✓ This vehicle is "sold as seen", on an "as is, where is" basis and without warranty. Photos and descriptions are provided for guidance only, and it is customary to carry out a full inspection of the vehicle before purchase for your own peace of mind.

✓ VAT is included in the buyer's deposit. VAT may or may not be included in the final offer or bid price, as specified in the listing.

✓ We want the transaction to go smoothly, just as you do, which is why cars and motorcycles registered in the UK and listed on Car & Classic are subject to an HPI check to verify that they show no insurance database markers for damage or theft and are not subject to a finance lien, so you can bid with confidence.

✓ We also check whether vehicles are registered as written off following a total loss at the time the listing is placed on Car & Classic, and we provide write-off category labels (Cat C/D/S/N) to help you. However, the presence or absence of a label does not guarantee the vehicle's status, and it is always worthwhile to carry out a full vehicle history check before making an offer.

✓ Buyers are responsible for collecting or delivering the vehicle. Importing vehicles may incur additional customs duties and import taxes. If you wish, we can recommend a third-party transport company that can help. For more details and to speak with the team, email auctions@carandclassic.com.
