Since its arrival to the UK this little 356 has been worked on by some of the best in the business. Including 911 Rennsport, Workshop Seventy7, Jaz Porsche and Riviera Autobody. The car was completely stripped back to bare metal, new panels sourced, repairs and custom tweaks to the body made. The engine and gearbox have been completely rebuilt, the running gear, suspension and brakes have also been thoroughly refurbished or replaced with new components. A new wiring loom has been installed along with re-chroming of all the brightwork and refurbishment of the original gauges. A complete bespoke interior was fitted, with luxurious Scottish Muirhead leather and original German weave carpet. This was a complete nut and bolt restoration, carried out over a four year period using only the best components. A huge folder of invoices accompanies the car detailing just what is required when restoring a classic Porsche to this level. Invoices from Roger Bray, Karmann Konnection, Rose Passion, Jaz, Restoration Design, Riviera Autobody, Workshop Seventy7 and many others are included. A heritage Porsche tool kit is also present. This stunning 356 starts easily and drives very well, feeling eager and very nimble on the road. A large amount of money has been invested in this restoration with a ridiculous amount of man hours taken to get the desired finish, however we think the end result is absolutely fantastic.
