This is a classic Porsche you can use and enjoy with great satisfaction and pride. It scores highly for its overall condition, presentation, and driveability. The remarkably original bodywork has been beautifully repainted in its original shade of Champagne yellow, with original brightwork and interior. The upgraded engine, along with the factory sunroof and disc brakes, combine to create a remarkably usable and rewarding 356. Supplied new in early 1964 by Competition Cars of Culver City, the official Porsche importer for Los Angeles, California. It was later part of a private collection in Japan before arriving in the UK, where it was offered at auction. It caught the eye of marque specialist Andy Prill in 2002, who was especially impressed by its remarkable originality. When it was stripped to bare metal for a paint refresh in its original Champagne yellow jacket, he noted no corrosion, no accident damage, and no previous restoration work. In 2003 it was passed to Porsche specialist Robert Gant of Gantspeed Engineering, who carried out a transmission rebuild. New owners in late 2003, 2011 and 2013 continued their relationship with Gantspeed, relying on them for the 356’s maintenance and servicing, all, as reflected in a detailed folder packed with invoices, pointing to fastidious care without compromise. Of particular benefit is the 2007 rebuild of the air cooled 4-cylinder, uprated to 1,720 cc, delivering increased power and torque, better response, and a far more engaging drive.
