1961 Porsche 356 BT5 1600 Roadster – D’Ieteren – Superb condition – Rare example – 12 months warranty

This Porsche 356 1600 BT5 D’Ieteren (#89233) rolled off the assembly lines of the Belgian factory on July 18, 1961. Only 473 BT5s rolled off the D’Ieteren production lines, and only in 1961 (the 1959 and 1960 roadsters were produced by Drauz (2,200 examples). Even at the time, journalists and specialists specified that D’Ieteren roadsters were better insulated and more rigid than Drauz roadsters, which makes them particularly coveted by collectors on today’s market.

The vehicle in detail

Our Porsche 356 was delivered to Brumos in Jacksonville, USA, on 15 September 1961 to Mr Spencer Willoughly of Augusta – the original Cardex specifies that it was delivered with a factory roll bar allowing it to compete.

Its livery was Fjord Green (#6005), a colour it would retain until 2008.

During its 43 years in the USA, the US 356 Registry lists 6 American owners, including one, US Air Force Commander John Boles, who owned the roadster twice, 30 years apart. He kept the roadster from 2003 to 2014 and it was he who undertook a total restoration of the car:

– Interior and soft top (2003),
– Bodywork (2008),
– Complete mechanics (2011 by Till’s import car clinic),

In 2014, the car was acquired by a Belgian collector who imported it from the United States. It was then brought up to European standards, maintained and improved by the Van Beurden Porsche garage in Turnhout.

In September 2018, it was acquired by the current French owner.

Since 2018, the roadster has been driven regularly and has been meticulously maintained (file of invoices) in a heated, secure, tarpaulin-covered garage, and is currently registered in France with a ‘carte grise collection’. Finally, the car has a 2019 FIVA passport ,number 078534.

Mechanical part:
The bodywork is in very good overall condition, with a bright, flawless polar grey paintwork with good alignments,
The paint thickness is between 356 and 409 microns (vehicle repainted uniformly and very clean),
Mechanically, the engine was restored in 2011. It is from the correct 616/1 series (year and model) but it is not the original engine (1307 numbers difference between the 2 engines.
– #Origin (Cardex): P-605161
– Current: P-606468
The 714/2 gearbox is matching (#42935) with 4 gears
The engine is very smooth, runs perfectly and consumes no oil, no suspicious noises, no abnormal clattering. It develops 90 bhp on the bench. No leaks or seepage from the engine or gearbox,
