1963 Porsche 356 B Maching Numbers German registration Sold without technical inspection 90 000 / 110 000 The first owner was an American soldier who bought the car in Holland and took it with him to the USA. His name (Jacox) is engraved on the hubcaps. On his death, it was sold to a Swiss collector. Purchased from the second owner in 2003. At the time, it was in 100% original condition (many photos available). A partial restoration, preserving as many original elements as possible, could begin. The headliner and carpet were replaced, and the seats were only partially renovated. The rear seats and door panels are still original, dating from 1963. The engine has been fully restored with SC crankshaft, Carillo connecting rods and JE pistons, so the car now has around 90-95 HP instead of the original 75. The gearbox has also been completely refurbished. A CSP front disc brake kit has been fitted, but the original drum brakes are still in stock. A modern oil filter fitted with a thermostat that directs oil to the 2 front-mounted radiators when the oil exceeds 80° for better cooling was installed. The car is still in its original condition, with a few traces of use over its 61-year, accident-free life. A partial repaint has been carried out, but the roof and 2 hoods are still in original paint. The car is Matching Numbers. A new stainless steel exhaust pipe has been installed. She's ready for regularity rallies with her trip master, and is sure to please a new gentleman driver.

1959 PORSCHE 356 BT5 Cabriolet 1600S SUPER 90 Chassis:152 703 Engine: P800870 Carte Grise Française de Collection Matching Colors Rare Cabriolet Super 90 engine The first Porsche, the one numbered 356-001 in 1948, had no roof. It was a two-seater roadster whose design by Erwin Komenda would change very little throughout the 356's life, if not for all the brand's models up to the present day. Porsche has always been faithful to it, just as Erwin was during his career with Ferdinand. Thus, the 356 Coupé and Cabriolet were born from this initial design as early as 1949. The recipe was simple: a mass-produced Volkswagen base, a lightly tuned engine and a design sufficiently modified to confer sports car status. The 356s were produced at Reutter and Heuer, before returning to the Zuffenhausen plant. In 1959, the 356 A was replaced by the B, designed to keep the 356 on the sports car market. The program included greater comfort and higher performance, with the adoption of a new 1600 cm3, 90 hp engine for the 356 B 1600 Super. Finally, in 1964, just as the 911 was beginning its life, the 356 offered itself a last hurrah with the 356 C, which for the occasion adopted the four disc brakes of the 356 B Carrera 2, doing away with the 60 hp version of the 1600, replaced by the 75 hp version. This Porsche 356 Cabriolet 1600 Super BT5 was launched on 7/11/1959. We know from the period sheet that it was delivered new in Stuttgart to a certain Karl U Mayer, a resident of Stuttgart. She was then Meissenblau, the color she still wears. Equipment included two loudspeakers, an antenna, mirrors in the sun visors and a compensating spring. We were able to retrace its history from delivery to December 1964. Born with a 1600 S, the engine was replaced by a 1600 Super 90 in August 1964, no. 800 270. In 1993, the car reappeared in Italy, restored and owned by a certain Sandro Caviglia. He had a FIVA certificate drawn up. In December 2014, the car was imported into France by Franco Lembo. He will register the car before selling it to Dr. D., a rally enthusiast. An avid rally enthusiast, Dr. D. has co-driven an AC Cobra with Ludovic Caron on several occasions. Together, they won the 2011 Tour Auto. Maintained by Club 356 specialists, the car's mechanics are well tuned. The clutch was recently replaced. The bodywork and upholstery are in very good condition, testifying to the quality of the restoration. An adjustment of the front brakes will be necessary, as a counter-inspection revealed an imbalance in the front brakes. This Porsche 356 is a great opportunity to acquire an elegant 1600 Super 90 cabriolet, well maintained and restored, in the cult color of Meissen Blau. 1959 PORSCHE 356 BT5 Cabriolet 1600S SUPER 90 Chassis :152 703 Engine: P800870 French collector's registration document Matching Colors Rare Cabriolet Super 90 engine The first Porsche, the one that in 1948 bore the number 356-001, had no roof.

The programme included greater comfort and more performance, with the adoption of a new 1600cc, 90bhp engine for the 356 B 1600 Super.
