1962 Porsche 356B T6 Roadster

The 356, created by Ferdinand and Ferry Porsche, stands as the inaugural Porsche production car. Its rear-engine configuration, lightweight construction, and precise German engineering might ring a bell. The 356 served as the ancestral foundation for the beloved Porsche 911 we recognize today.

Spanning four series - Pre-A, A, B, and C - from 1948 to 1965, the 356 underwent minor body changes and technological advancements - A replacement for one year only, Convertible D Porsche 356 Roadster was introduced in 1960. With these being based on the 356B improvements included stronger oil pump, stronger connecting rods and an updated gearbox

One of only 248 cars built in total, this beautiful 356B Roadster underwent a total restoration in 2011. The engine was rebuilt to Super 90 specifications, and enlarged to 1720cc. Enamelled in stunning Aquamarine blue #5607 with red leatherette interior, this concours winning 356 comes with a Porsche Certificate of Authenticity and would suit the most fastidious buyer.

Walking around the car, you'll see subtle details, from the brightwork, correct chrome hubcaps with crested centers to the high level of finish applied to the paint. This car has been masterfully refurbished.

To drive, the car outperforms others from its time and category. With its initial low-end torque, consistent power throughout the rev range, and "on-rails" grip, this pocket-sized Porsche will amaze you with its capabilities.

With easy shifting both up and down, thanks to its fully synchromesh gearbox, this 356B is a pleasure to drive around town. It is also well-equipped for weekend trips to escape the city, with plenty of luggage space inside and under the bonnet.
