Chassis number 114367 was completed at Stuttgart, Zuffenhausen in November 1960 and supplied new as a Right Hand Drive model via AFN Limited, Isleworth. It was original presented with Aetna Blue (6003) body colour and black leatherette interior, this scheme still current on the car.
At some point – possibly very early in its life chassis number 114367 was uprated with the running gear of a Super-90 of a similar vintage, including a 616/7 engine, matching gearbox, camber bar and a correctly calibrated rev counter. In all but name, it became, and remains, a Super-90.
Registered in the UK in December 1960, the car remained in England until the mid seventies when upon the car was relocated to Arizona. The car remained in the US through to the mid eighties when Porsche specialist Roger Bray purchased the car and brought it back to the UK. Roger has gone on record as describing this particular 356 as “in unbelievable rust free condition, one of the best examples I have ever seen”. In 1990 the car then found a long-term home in the ownership of Mr. Webster who has owned the car for 19 years. During that period it has been meticulously maintained by Porsche specialists, with a large file of services records, MOT’s and maintenance receipts.
The car looks and drives really well. The body gaps are very accurate, the door gaps are align perfectly as does the bonnet and engine lid. The paint presents really well as does the interior and the car overall has a very purposeful appearance and would be an ideal event/touring car.
This car represents a rare opportunity to acquire a very well sorted Porsche 356 BT5 Coupe in super condition throughout.
UK registered with MOT and historic vehicle tax status, ready for immediate use.
