Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This is a left-hand drive 1962 Porsche 356 B Super 90 cabriolet, a rare model with only 600 T6 cabriolet variants manufactured in 1961/62. It features a sleek silver exterior with a blue leather interior and hood. It has been restored and has bills from Porsche Monaco, and will be serviced prior to auction.
Condition
8
The car was restored in 2006 and recently treated to a bare metal respray, indicating significant refurbishment. The interior is described as a 'true delight' and the hood is in excellent condition.
