1963 Porsche 356 C Cabriolet - 65 685 miles

Description

The 356 C maintained the elegant aesthetic of its predecessor, distinguished by refined details that reflected mechanical advancement. Most notably, the wheel design evolved with streamlined hub caps—absent the iconic Porsche crest—a practical refinement necessitated by the introduction of disc brakes across the entire lineup. The addition of circular exterior mirrors completed the model's sophisticated visual identity.

This Porsche 356 has a thoroughly documented provenance, having had only three owners since new. The second owner acquired the car in the early 1990s, during the era of T-plate registrations, and maintained it with great care, and the current owner has maintained the car with Tim Abbot and other independent specialists to ensure that it is up to standard.

The vehicle has spent its life inland, away from coastal conditions, ensuring it has remained dry and free from exposure to sea air. It is further distinguished by the presence of highly sought-after period details, including the original Hirschmann aerial and Durant mirror—features that are particularly prized by discerning collectors and enthusiasts.
