1959 Porsche 356 A  S – Fully Restored, Matching Numbers, Original Documentation

A rare opportunity to acquire a 1959 Porsche 356 A, a model that represents the very essence of Porsche’s early sports car heritage. Known as the car that laid the foundation for the legendary 911, the 356 is a cornerstone of Porsche history, embodying the brand’s philosophy of lightweight engineering, precision handling, and pure driving pleasure.

This particular example has undergone a meticulous, nut-and-bolt restoration, returning it to its original factory specifications. With matching numbers, the car retains its authentic engine and transmission, ensuring its historic integrity. Every technical aspect has been carefully rebuilt, from the powerful 1.6-liter air-cooled flat-four engine to the precise four-speed manual gearbox, offering a driving experience exactly as Ferdinand Porsche intended.

The suspension and braking system have been expertly restored, providing the agile handling and responsiveness that made the 356 a favorite among enthusiasts and racing drivers of its era. The car’s lightweight construction, combined with its rear-engine layout, delivers a balance and feel that remains truly engaging to this day.

Adding to its uniqueness, this 356 A comes with its original German Kraftfahrzeugbrief, documenting its entire ownership history. This level of provenance is rarely seen and confirms the authenticity of this exceptional example.

Finished in a beautiful and highly desirable color combination, this car is both a visual masterpiece and a technical marvel. Whether admired as a collector’s piece or enjoyed on the open road, it is a celebration of Porsche’s pioneering spirit and craftsmanship.

For collectors seeking a historically significant and technically perfect 356A, this is a rare and unrepeatable opportunity.
