1961 Porsche 356 B Coupe

The 356 was the first production car for Porsche. It was a rear-engine, rear wheel drive sports car that was very light and had unmatched handling characteristics. The car was available as a two door coupe and also as an open top. Porsche engineers continued to improve the car in the years of production. This increased the cars popularity and also contributed to its success on the racetrack. Production started in 1948 and the first 50 cars were produced in Gmund, Austria. The factory relocated to Zuffenhausen in 1950 and production of the 356 continued until April 1965. 76 000 cars were produced of which approximately half have survived.

This specific car is a 1960 Porsche 356 B Coupe. It is finished in classic silver with black interior. The car is in a very good condition and is mostly original. It is a numbers match car and has had only two owners for the last 40 years! The car was well maintained, and the engine has just been beautifully overhauled by a well known Porsche Specialist.
