It’s not easy in our days to find a 356A Cabriolet for restoration that isn’t a mass of rust and still has its original engine, yet here is one.

Moreover, this car was born in Aquamarine Metallic, a rather rare color, although it’s evident that over the years, it has undergone several layers of paint, including a flashy yellow that, we must admit, we quite like on this car. The car no longer has the floors at the level of the front seats, but this is not a major issue for someone undertaking the task of restoring this car.

Crucial is the presence of the original engine, which elevates the car’s importance. If it were ours and budget weren’t an issue, we would consider restoring everything except the external part of the body, which we would leave, almost as a statement, as it is.
