1964 Porsche 356C Coupe
Matching numbers, Rebuilt engine, Rebuilt gearbox
Just out of long term ownership, we are pleased to present to market this beautiful Porsche 356. Imported to the UK in 1995, from Florida where it was originally supplied by Brumos Porsche. The car has been enjoyed and improved by the same owner for the past 25 years! Only changing hands for the first time since being in the UK last year. A particularly well set up car which has been enjoyed on various regularity rallies and European road trips, including the Monte Carlo Challenge, Winter Challenge, Rally of the Tests and Classic Marathon. The car is perfectly capable of covering long distances with ease. Benefiting from a full engine rebuild by marque specialist Andy Prill, with just approx 7,000 miles being covered since. A dyno print out shows that is currently producing just over 100hp. The gearbox has also been completely rebuilt in 2016 by Porsche specialists Autostrasse, as have the carburettors. The suspension has been upgraded to adjustable LEDA on the front and Bilstein on the rear. The car has been converted to 12 volt for more reliable starting and lighting during competition use. Being the last of the 356, this model also benefits from disc brakes all round, pulling the car up nice and straight. The only real changes away from the original car are the bolt in Roll Centre rear roll bar, addition of the timing equipment and a classic Momo Steering Wheel and sports exhaust. The original items including the original steering wheel are all available with the car. The car seen paint some time ago, but otherwise remains largely original and unmolested on the body, with original panels in place and only some small repairs carried out to the bottom of the doors which was all documented. The car is completely solid with no sign of any corrosion anywhere. It starts on the button, drives particularly well and definitely has a certain charm about its original, yet purposeful appearance. The certificate of authenticity is present, confirming the matching engine. Along with a large folder of invoices, the original drivers manual, FIVA identity card, past MOT’s and invoices from Roger Bray, PR Services, Autostrasse, Francis Tuthill and Karmann Konnection. The car was also featured in an article in Porsche Post magazine, detailing the previous owners experience with the car on the Monte Carlo Challenge, copy included. Overall a thoroughly enjoyable 356, ready to be enjoyed, which offers huge value in todays market.
