Condition
7
The car has been extensively restored, which indicates good mechanical and external condition. However, the description notes it has a replacement engine, which prevents it from being in 'pristine' or 'outstanding' condition. It's described as an 'attractive example' and 'charming,' suggesting it presents well but not perfectly. The mention of a replacement engine implies some deviation from its original factory state, placing it in the 'Very Good' category.

Description
•

One of the all-time great sports cars, the 356 was the work of Ferry Porsche, who had been inspired by the FIAT-based Cisitalias of Piero Dusio.
Ferry's 356 was based on the Volkswagen designed by his father, and like the immortal 'Beetle' employed a platform-type chassis with rear-mounted air-cooled engine and all-independent torsion-bar suspension.
Introduced in 1948, the Porsche 356 set a new standard for small sports cars and proved adaptable to all forms of motor sport including circuit racing and rallying.
In 1951 a works car finished first in the 1,100cc class at the Le Mans 24-Hour Race, thus beginning the marque's long and illustrious association with La Sarthe.
