My 356
matara - January 16th, 2009 at 05:10 PM

Cassa asked me to put some pics up for him, so whilst I had the 356 out on the driveway today I took a few. Its heading up North today to be in safe hands and looked after whist I'm away in Europe for a year.

Its an Australian delivery 1958 356A thats got its original engine from new. The hood emblem and rear decklid are wrong being from a B car as A's had single grilles.

And his a a super rare Bench Seat. Porsche only fitted 700 of these. Apparently to cater for US NATO servicemen stationed in W Germany who wanted to ride with their arms around their "Fräuleins"
