Pre-A Split Window Coupé · Full restoration SC Classic
Few cars tell the story of Porsche’s beginnings better than this 1950 356 Split-Window Coupé.
It is one of the first coupés built in Stuttgart and comes from Germany with its history intact.
The complete restoration was carried out entirely by SC Classic SRL.
The car has a deep black finish over a green interior, a combination that enhances the proportions of this early coupé.
The chassis is numbered with four digits and the engine is the original one, with matching numbers.
The four-speed manual gearbox is the one fitted to all 356s from this period.
Everything is in its place.
The car runs, drives, and is ready for delivery, with concours condition in every detail.
It is just as rewarding to own as it is to drive on a quiet road.
The car’s history
The Split-Window earned a place in automotive history because Porsche was rebuilding itself.
The company brought production back to Stuttgart from Austria, financing the move in part with the proceeds from Volkswagen Porsche licenses brought production back to Stuttgart from Austria also thanks to the proceeds from Volkswagen licenses and advance payments from dealers, and thus the first German 356 was born, a twin-windscreen coupé..
The first Stuttgart coupés left the factory at the beginning of April 1950, with 40 hp and a price of 9,950 German marks At the beginning of April 1950, the factory completed the first 356 coupé built in Stuttgart; these 40-hp cars cost 9,950 marks.
The nickname derives from the two-piece windscreen, which distinguished cars built in Stuttgart until March 1952 Stuttgart production cars built before March 1952 are recognized by their windscreen made up of two elements..
Under the bodywork is a 1.1-liter air-cooled flat-four producing 40 hp The original engine was a 1,100 cc flat-four producing 40 hp.
Surviving examples are rare.
Of the 1,348 Split-Windows built, it is estimated that around 15–20% still exist.
A car of this age, in this condition, with matching-numbers engine and German provenance, is a rare opportunity to own a piece of the first chapter of Porsche in Stuttgart.
