History
The 356 was the first production Porsche. It was manufactured in Stuttgart from 1948 to 1965. The 356 A, launched in 1955, featured a single-piece curved windscreen, a revised suspension and a more powerful engine. The bodywork was produced at the Reutter workshops.
This particular car was built in 1956. The current owner had the car imported from Switzerland in 2014. As a coachbuilder himself, he subsequently undertook a complete restoration of the car. This restoration is documented in the expert report with photographs of the restoration work.

General state
The car was restored about ten years ago and remains in excellent condition, both cosmetically and mechanically.
🚘The bodywork is in very good condition. The beige paintwork is smooth and in good condition. Only a few minor flaws are visible in the ‘imperfections’ section on our website. The chrome trim is in good condition and the seals are new. The alloy wheels are in good condition. The spare wheel is present.
The interior is in very good condition. The burgundy faux leather upholstery is in excellent condition. The carpets and door panels are colour-coordinated and are also in good condition. The ivory-coloured steering wheel and the dashboard are painted to match the body colour, with a red upper section.
⚙️The mechanical components have been fully restored. The engine bay is clean and well-maintained, with red padding. The engine number, P 62165, corresponds to a 1600 type 616/1. The cylinders, pistons, bearings and seals have been replaced, and the gearbox was overhauled several years ago. The engine starts from cold and runs normally, without noise or smoke. The gearbox and clutch operate normally. The car is fitted with front disc brakes (replacing the original drums) and rear drum brakes.
