The bodywork looks perfect. All sheet metal parts are original and fit perfectly everywhere. The bumpers are in top condition, as is the lighting. The paint has been completely repainted, this work was also carried out at a top level. The convertible top is in new condition and is made of beautiful material. The hood is of course easy to operate and fits perfectly everywhere. The car is on the original wheels which are fitted with the original chrome hubcaps. Both the wheels and the hubcaps were repainted during the restoration in the original color scheme, this can be deduced from the Reuter folder that is present with the car. This document may be seen as an extra on top of the Porsche birth certificate. The materials and paints used are all specified with a code and can therefore be checked. Everything and everything is right about this car.
The interior is of course no exception. The seats have been completely reupholstered with the original leather on the seats and the carpets have also been completely renewed based on the original. The dashboard has been completely repainted to factory specification and all instruments and controls have also been renewed and are in top condition. It is wonderful to see what a new Porsche 356B must have looked like in 1960. We have often seen restored Porsches pass by, but the level of work carried out here is rarely achieved.
The technology is exactly the same story. The technology of the Porsche may be known as very robust and simple in design, but to do everything just right still proves very difficult. The 1.6 liter four-cylinder boxer engine produces 75 hp and is mated to a four-speed manual transmission. The engine is still the original and the transmission has also been completely overhauled. The brakes and chassis were completely renewed during the restoration and are also in top condition. The car drives wonderfully. There is no play in the steering box, the poker shifts exactly and the engine hangs wonderfully on the gas. The car not only looks like new, but also functions as such.
The documentation has been discussed extensively at the beginning of this story and needs no further explanation. Everything that came with a Porsche is there, every receipt has been preserved, from the first deposit to the last service and everything in between. Isn't it fantastic to know that this Porsche has seen more of the world than almost any ordinary citizen and yet is still in perfect condition thanks to two extremely careful owners? It can hardly be a coincidence. This is a car for the serious Porsche collector. An enthusiast who appreciates perfect originality and a sublime overall picture.
