1953 | Porsche 356 1500

This Porsche 356 "pre-A" 1500 was produced the 16th July 1953 at Reutter Carrosserie and sold in New York by the importer Hoffmann in the elegant Pasha red combined with a full beige corduroy interior, as evidenced by the Reutter certificate of origin.

Arrived in Italy in the first 90s in need of a total restoration, the car has been recently finished according to the original specifications, with a top level work.

The engine and the gearbox are matching. All the other original components have been expertly restored, such as doors, hoods, instruments, fuel tank and the many small details that distinguish the PreA 356s from the following series.

The restoration was carried out by Serattini workshop and the upholstery by Ferraresi: two well known names tightened to Porsche that need no introduction in this field.

Ready for a second life - with the running-in just completed - this 356 can take part in all major events and is 1000 Miglia eligible. The attention to detail certainly makes it one of the favorites for honor awards in concourses d'elegance.

The 1500 engine, with something more than 55 horsepower has been restored and balanced with care: it is brilliant to drive with agility even for long distances, thanks also to the low weight of the 356.

Kardex and Reutter certificate available, French and American registration.

The car could be seen by appointment in Paris.
