1956 Porsche 356 1 of 22 made for sale
Current customer rating: (298 votes ) based onHowever. after Ford's objections to the use of “Continental”. the model was changed to the “European” for 1956 model year. Again. highly optioned. and with the script adorning the front wings. very few of these cars exist. Records aren't definitive. but it is believed that only 22 were built and only 16 are accounted for.
The car offered here is a very late “European” Cabriolet model of the 356. as ordered and delivered in March 1956 to Hoffman in New York. In barn-find condition. the body is essentially rust-free and straight with excellent panel fit. The doors. trunk and hood all fit perfectly with superb original panel gaps. and are marked with matching and original panel numbers. There is rust in the usual places of the floors and battery box – an easy repair.
The car is near complete with original engine and gearbox. running gear. etc. It will need the horn-button. shift lever. seats. rear bumper guards. radio. and Perspex sun visors to be complete. The original Solex carbs have been replaced with Dell'Ortos. but are readily available to return the car to original spec. It features the correct “Beehive” rear lights and sealed-beam headlights. in-dash ashtray (rather than under the dash). speedo in mph. and remains in the rare and original colour combination of triple black.
The car has been in dry storage since purchase in 1992. and was driven in there at that point. The engine turns freely. but may require a rebuild.
The car is accompanied by a 1992 Porsche Letter of Authenticity/early Kardex. which quotes the model type as a “356A Type European Cabriolet”. and includes engine and transmission numbers. and the chassis number. which corresponds to markings on the car's original panels. Shipping WORLD-WIDE.
