Peter Behrens (a godfather figure to the young architect Ludwig Mies Van Der Rohe) taught us to eliminate unnecessary bells and whistles, thus minimizing the separation of form and function. And we believe that’s true, but without exaggerating: the one published here is what remains of a 356 of 1953 (chassis # 50312), and is… Read More Less is less: 1953 Porsche 356
This 356 Coupé, chassis #51530, has been stored since 1996 by the same owner for over 45 years. Factory Kardex confirms matching engine and transmission. The paint is not original though, it had a new paint (Ivory?) in the early 70’s but its original color was Fashion Grey which is still visible under the lid,… Read More Back to the past: 1953 Porsche 356 Coupé
Indeed. Porsche enthusiasts know well that, aside from the Carrera, this is the most sought after Speedster as only 200 were built in the first producion year, 1954. Zero description by the seller so you will have to settle on what we say about this car: as just written this car belongs to the first 200… Read More Blind red: 1954 Porsche 356 T1 Speedster
We all know that the pre-56 Porsche 356 are becoming untouchable, no matter in what conditions they are, so always more often we see for sale cars that, up to five years ago, we would not have taken even for free. Unfortunately we don’t make rules, market does so here we are comenting wat remains of… Read More Restoration day: 1953 and 1955 Porsche 356 Coupé
“Interiors only” is not referred to the photo provided (which actually show only interiors and the front lid) but also to what remains of the car which is said to have been involved in a serious crash. The seller says that the engine is missing (it was originally a 1500 c.c. unit) but the typ… Read More Interiors only: 1954 Porsche 356 Coupé
“Scraping the bottom of the barrel” is an old said but it fits to what is happening during the last years: the good finds are almost done and often cars like this jump on the market. We can’t say if that’s a ’54 or ’55 car (for sure it’s not younger or older than that)… Read More Wood find: 1954/55 Porsche 356 Coupé
This early 356 is said to be an original german car sold by the Stuttgart dealer Hahn, then it was exported to U.S.A. for 50 years. Since five years though the car is again in Europe. The seller says that the floors are solid and still the original equipment, all panels are matching as well… Read More Born german: 1953 Porsche 356
It’s very rare, at this point, to find a 356 Cabrio to restore (yep, 356: the “pre-a” nickname have never been used by Porsche), and finding a very early ’52 car it’s like to win a (little) lottery. Also because, even though this car (chassis #15005) clearly needs a huge amount of work, it is basically… Read More COD 420: 1952 Porsche 356 Cabrio
The seller says that this 356 Speedster needs attentions but, according to us, the only attention it needs is about the asking price which is quite competitive. This car is said to have been originally purchased new by a man and then it passed to his son’s hands. It’s a 1955 356 Speedster (a.k.a. “Pre-A”)… Read More Father and son: 1955 Porsche 356 Speedster
