The Porsche 356 was the company's first production model. It was
a lightweight and nimble handling rear-engine rear-wheel drive. br/>two-door sports car available in hardtop and convertible
configurations. Design innovations continued during the years of
manufacture. contributing to its motorsports success and
popularity. Production started in 1948 at Gmünd. Austria where
approximately 50 cars were built. In 1950 the factory relocated to
Zuffenhausen. Germany and general production of the 356 continued
until April 1965. well after the replacement model 911 made its
autumn 1963 debut. The 356 was created by Ferdinand 'Ferry' Porsche
(son of Dr. Ing. Ferdinand Porsche. founder of the company). Like
its cousin. the Volkswagen Beetle (which Ferdinand Porsche Senior
had designed). the 356 was a four-cylinder. air-cooled. br/>rear-engine. rear-wheel drive car utilising unitised pan and body
construction. It was common for owners to race the car as well as
drive it on the street. Increasing success with its racing and road
cars brought Porsche orders for over 10. 00 cars in 1964 and by the
time 356 production ended in 1965 approximately 76. 00 had been
produced.

On offer today is an extremely sound Porsche 356A coupé which has
been in the USA for most of its life where it was restored about

belt. full retune and the suspension bushes replaced. Purchased and
