car description

The Porsche 356 BT6 Cabriolet S offered for sale here was delivered to Reutlingen in October 1961. It is therefore one of the sought-after German first deliveries.

The Porsche was fully restored years ago and is in excellent condition. Get in and drive off! The classic colour combination in silver with dark red leather is not the original one, but fits sensationally to this timeless piece of history.

In 2009, the car was sold to a collector in Barcelona, Spain. Since 2009 it has been in his private collection and has hardly been driven. In 2021, we sold the 356 to a classic car enthusiast in Tegernsee, Germany. A Porsche certificate of authenticity from 2013 and an appraisal from 2021 confirm the original numbers and the good technical and optical condition.

History of the series

Porsche revised the Porsche 356 A and thus produced the new 356 B (T5) series from 1959. The power range began with the 356 B 1600 and 60 hp and ended with 140 hp in the 356 B 2000 GS Carrera 2.

The difference between the 356 B and the predecessor model is, among other things, the 10 cm higher positioned front bumper with enlarged rim flanges and higher positioned headlights. In addition to the front turn signals, flatter horn grilles with two chrome-plated louvres each are fitted. Another feature is the bonnet handle, which is wider towards the bottom than on the predecessor. Also, the number plate lighting was integrated into the rear bumper and the reversing light was installed below the rear bumper.

From 09.1961 (T6) onwards, revisions were added, such as a front bonnet that was wider at the bottom and a fuel filler cap integrated into the front right wing. Furthermore, two vertically arranged air grilles were integrated into the enlarged bonnet.
