Description

An aerodynamic design that made the air blush, a road handling that embraced the road like an old friend, and a build quality that even made a tank pale in comparison, the 356 impressed everyone. It was a car for every day, the core value of Porsche, designed for enthusiasts of superior engineering in the most seductive form.

Porsche quickly refined the 356's technology for racing success, driven by the motto: "Win on Sunday, sell on Monday." And they succeeded in doing so.

This example, originally delivered in Switzerland, was fully restored in the Netherlands between 1988 and 1994. Since then, the current owner has had it for 30 years, always treating it with care and keeping it in excellent condition.

Because the Porsche 356B 1600 Super from 1960 could no longer keep up with modern traffic smoothly, it was adapted to stay true to the motto and remain a daily car with superior engineering. In 2012, a fully revised 4-cylinder 1600 engine with 90 HP was installed, followed by a gearbox overhaul in 2017. Recently, the roof, shock absorbers (Koni), and front brake discs were renewed.

These modifications, combined with excellent maintenance, have transformed the 356 Cabriolet into one of the best-driving examples. With its light ivory paint and black leather interior, it exudes timeless classic elegance, perfectly balanced with modern performance. A specialist has inspected the car and declared that this 356 is in top condition—a rarity.

With every kilometer, you can feel the love and craftsmanship invested in this car. Owned by an enthusiast for 30 years with the perfect amount of patina. It is a true example of everything the brand stands for.

Are you the next chapter in the life of this Porsche?
