VEHICLE DESCRIPTION

With only 1330 having been made between August 1958 and September 1959, the 356 A Convertible D is among the rarest variants of Porsche’s enduring sports car, and the example being offered for sale here must be one of the most original survivors.

Ordered new via Ritterbacher of Kaiserslautern and registered in January 1959, it was delivered new to the USA and the factory data card shows that its options included reclining seats and the American-spec bumper.

It would remain Stateside for more than 50 years, and in 2001 it was treated to a nut-and-bolt restoration by Porsche 356 specialist Sports Car Factory of Thompson, Ohio. No expense was spared and the history file includes a photographic record of the work, plus extensive invoices. 

A bare-metal respray was carried out, as well as a full mechanical overhaul covering the gearbox, suspension and brakes, and a rebuild of the flat-four engine. The interior was retrimmed and also benefits from new over-mats and a mohair hood, while all of the exterior brightwork was rechromed.

Its final US owner was based in Rhode Island and entered the 356 into the 2009 PorscheFest Concours d’Elegance, which was held to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the north-east region of the Porsche Club of North America. Four years later, it was sold to a UK-based owner and has been maintained by renowned independent specialists such as Maxted-Page. 

The front suspension and steering box were rebuilt in 2021 by Williams Crawford, and the following year the same was done to the fuel system. Now presented in immaculate, concours-ready condition, it retains its matching-numbers engine and gearbox, and the doors, bonnet and boot lid all feature their original stamped numbers. 

Looking resplendent in its original colours of Ruby Red with Tan upholstery, there are few more stylish ways to enjoy the summer sun.
