Summary

The Porsche 356 occupies a special place in automotive history, as it laid the foundations for the legendary Porsche brand. The brainchild of the visionary Ferdinand 'Ferry' Porsche, the 356 (the brand's 356th design) became the first production car to bear the Porsche name and paved the way for the iconic sports cars that would follow. Launched in 1948, the 356 quickly became recognized for its distinctive design, superb engineering and outstanding performance, cementing its status as a classic icon that continues to captivate enthusiasts around the world. It was thanks to the 356 that the manufacturer succeeded in making a name for itself and producing the hyper-powerful and prestigious models we know today.

Full description

The current owner bought the car in 2015 from Automobilia in Reims with the aim of taking part in historic races such as the Tour Auto and the Tour de Corse. The car is in FIA GTS Race specification with a 136bhp engine and bespoke gearbox. The car will evolve with the races, notably at DG Racing in Yenne, where the engine was recently rebuilt. Our 356 has taken part in several Tour Auto events, including an index of performance victory in 2022. It is now sold ready to race with a revised gearbox. Eligible for the major historic events: Tour Auto, Le Mans Classic... this car is the absolute weapon to win the index.

I like the platform that Harry, Arran and the team have set up. As people with a background in motorsport they know what the seller and buyer is looking for and that reflects in how easy to navigate the site is and how easy it is to get in touch with sellers.
