Offered here is a beautiful US-delivered, left-hand drive Porsche 356 C which according to the Porsche Certificate of Authenticity was manufactured in August 1963, finished in Sky Blue and fitted with engine number 820059. It appears that at some point in the cars history, as with many 356s, the engine has been changed with a period-correct unit. We are informed that the car was subject to a documented restoration in Tennessee between 2015-17 and invoices amounting to $31,000 relating to this are in the file. It was refinished in its original paint colour of Sky Blue and fitted with a nicely detailed Tan leather interior.

After being imported to the UK, the 356 developed an engine issue and our vendor took the decision to send the car to a highly regarded UK-based, Porsche 356 specialist who commenced a schedule of works to have this example just right, both mechanically and aesthetically. Further invoices within the file document an engine rebuild and mechanical overhaul addressing steering, suspension and braking systems along with another visit to the paint shop for a fresh coat of Sky Blue, bringing this 356 close to this expert's acknowledged high standards (only a full in-house restoration would meet the full standards). As such, this example is now beautifully detailed, mechanically sorted, absolutely on-the-button and ready for the next chapter.

Accompanying the car is a history file including the aforementioned restoration invoices with a full breakdown of all work completed, the current V5c and other related documents. On test the car fired into life with ease, sounded healthy and performed well.

In summary, this is a great opportunity to take ownership of a Porsche 356 in left-hand drive, its purest form, in a striking colour combination with recent care and attention from the UK’s leading marque experts. An attractive and characterful classic that sits just right, is on its toes and ready to be enjoyed.
