Engine: 1600 cc 4 cylinder Transmission: 4 speed manual Extras: Older Restored car from JHB. |
The 356 was created by Ferdinand "Ferry" Porsche (son of Ferdinand Porsche, founder of the German company), who founded the Austrian company with his sister, Louise. Like its cousin, the Volkswagen Beetle (which Ferdinand Porsche Sr. had designed), the 356 is a four-cylinder, air-cooled, rear-engine, rear-wheel drive car with unitized pan and body construction.
The last revision of the 356 was the 356 C introduced for the 1964 model year. It featured disc brakes all around, radial Pirelli Cinturato tyres, as well as an option for the most powerful pushrod engine Porsche had ever produced, the 95 hp (71 kW) "SC". Production of the 356 peaked at 14,151 cars in 1964, the year that its successor, the new Porsche 911, was introduced to the US market (it was introduced slightly earlier in Europe).
This 356SC has a very interesting history, it was ordered new to the Congo in rare Irish Green and Tan interior. The car made its way to South Africa in the 1980's, and was restored in JHB by a well known and respected Porsche specialist, Peter Dorfer in the early 2000's. It was sold to collector in the Eastern Cape who has owned it for many years.
The car presents well and is a good driver. It is in excellent overall condition and drives exceptionally well
