The Cabriolet has been meticulously maintained and enjoyed over the years. In 2022, the 356 was repainted in Silver Metallic. In 2024, the braking system was rebuilt with all new components. Most recently, European Collectibles purchased this 356; in this process, the front seats were reupholstered, new charcoal German square weave carpets were installed, and the VDO instrumentation have been restored. This 356B Cabriolet benefits from a performance Super-90 engine that has been recently tuned. Original factory options feature armrests, chrome-plated wheels, CoCo mats, a side-view mirror, seatbelts, a Blaupunkt Frankfurt radio, two loudspeakers, an antenna, and a chrome luggage rack.
The paintwork is in excellent condition, with nice gaps and panel fit. All glass is original, including a Sigla windshield and Sekurit side windows. The VDM steering wheel is positioned in front of the VDO instrumentation with a Porsche radio delete plate. The glove box houses a discreet Alpine stereo system with dual speakers and an electrical kill switch under the dash. It is equipped with 5 ½” x 15” chrome wheels fitted with Super hubcaps, mounted to Vredestein Sprint Classic 165 HR15 tires (date coded 2024).
It is powered by a 1600cc flat-four Super-90 engine (Type 616/7) that generates 90 horsepower, paired with a manual 4-speed transmission (Type 741) and four-wheel drum braking system. It is complete with an owner’s manual, an Alpine radio manual, a spare wheel, a boot cover, and recent service records. This 356B T6 Cabriolet features a Super-90 engine for enhanced performance and is finished in a desirable color combination.
