*A Porsche 356 That Needs No Introduction: An Icon Preserved in Time
*
Some cars speak for themselves, and this Porsche 356 is one of them. A true time capsule from Porsche’s golden era, restored and mechanically overhauled in the past and now presented in beautifully preserved, highly original condition.

Born on the sun-drenched roads of California, this example proudly carries its Black Plate heritage. A mark prized by collectors. Finished in Silver over Red leather, this color combination is nothing short of exceptional: timeless, elegant, and exactly how enthusiasts dream of owning one.

The bodywork presents in remarkably clean condition with excellent panel fitment throughout. Chrome trim is bright and beautifully maintained. Inside, the cabin exudes the perfect classic Porsche character — not over-restored, but just right. For a full impression, we invite you to view the photos on our website.

Under the decklid: originally delivered with the 1600 S engine, this car retains its matching-numbers block, fully present and documented. The original engine has been rebuilt and remains in excellent order. Currently, the car is powered by a Porsche 912 engine producing 90 hp, giving the driving experience that extra edge in responsiveness and refinement that connoisseurs so appreciate.

Slide behind the wheel and it becomes instantly clear: everything feels tight, coherent, and honest. Steering is light yet communicative, the engine eager and lively, and the gearbox delivers that unmistakable classic Porsche feel: mechanical, direct, and wonderfully pure. This is driving in its most authentic form: no aids, no filters, no compromises. Just you, the car, and the road.

In a world where restorations can sometimes go too far, this 356A strikes the perfect balance. Subtle, genuine patina remains, lending authenticity without sacrificing quality. A respectful restoration done with discernment, not excess. Accompanied by a Porsche Certificate of Authenticity, confirming its provenance and correctness.

The 356A marks the origin story of Porsche — the car that launched the legend, the blueprint of the 911’s DNA. Light, agile, almost graceful, yet born with pure competitive spirit. A sports car that conquered the world not with brute force, but with finesse, precision, and soul.
