Porsche 356 Pre-A 1500

The vehicle in detail

This particular car was made for the American market and sold by the famous American importer Hoffman Motors in New York City. After a lifetime in the United States, the car returned to Europe where it was very extensively and thoroughly restored by us. Every meticulous process was documented and photographed. The car was restored to its former glory in its original Azure Blue colour with the interior in beautiful Beige Corduroy fabric. No expense was spared. The restoration was completed in 2016.

A nice detail is the absence of the Porsche logo, which was not designed at this time. Maxx Hoffman discussed this idea with Ferry Porsche earlier this year. The idea was that to improve sales in the US they needed a logo that showed that Porsche was a quality product. So a year later the famous Porsche Crest appeared on the 1953 models.
