Registered in the UK on the 01.11.1956, the car was retained by its first owner, Mr R. C Tatchell of Surrey until November 1972. Two further changes of ownership took place during the late seventies and eighties eventually ending up in the hands of a Mr. Baciu from Newark. After many years of daily use on English roads the car was eventually laid up in the mid 90’s. We purchased the car as a running restoration project and brought the car back to our workshop having been in dry storage for 14 years.
With a history file dating back to 1956 containing hand written letters from AFN Porsche, a full invoice and photographic portfolio as testimony to its £175,000 plus, nut and bolt restoration this car should be carefully considered and is the perfect purchase. Fully matching numbers, including the bonnet and engine lid stamped with the correct numbers (347). The engine, gearbox, suspension and brakes were totally rebuilt during the ‘factory specification’ restoration the only change being an upgrade to 12v.
This car represents a very rare opportunity to acquire one of a handful of UK delivered RHD Porsche 356 T1A Cabriolets supplied with, original registration documents, huge history file and comprehensive Export 56 restoration file. UK registered with MOT and historic vehicle tax status.
