About this Porsche 356

SOLD & DEPOSIT TAKEN - 14/08/2023
 
Launched in 1948, the Porsche 356 is among the most beloved sports cars from the 1950's and 1960's and was a huge success for Porsche.
With its unique style and agility and superior engineering and build quality, plus increasing success on road and track, by the time 356 production ended in 1965 approximately 76,000 had been produced.

The first 50 cars were produced by Austrian company Porsche Konstruktionen GesmbH in Gmünd, Austria between 1948 and1949 and then the factory relocated to Zuffenhausen in Germany in 1950 and the new German company Dr. Ing. h. c. F. Porsche GmbH was set up. It was Porsche's first production car and the 356 continued to be produced in various guises until April 1965, well after the replacement model - the Porsche 911 made its debut in September 1965. These were expensive cars from the beginning and they remain so today as collector cars, more than doubling in value during the past decade. Of the 76,000 Porsche 356's produced, approximately half still survive.
The 356 T6 C was the pinnacle of 356 development, launched in 63 the ‘C’ featured four wheel disc brakes (first seen on the 2.0 Carrera 2), a more refined ride and excellent performance available as the ‘C’ with 75hp or as the ‘SC’ with 95hp respectively. Road and Track Magazine enthused over its comfort, quality and excellent performance, concluding “one would look a long time before finding a sports or GT car that offers more pure driving enjoyment”.

According to the Porsche Kardex record, this lovely RHD Porsche 356C 1600 Coupe - Chassis No: 129578 and Engine No: 713460 is a Fully 'Matching Numbers' and 'Matching Colours' car and was built on 27th April 1964 and exported to Porsche agent Lindsay in Johannesburg, South Africa on 23rd June 1964
 
The Kardex record states that the car's first owner was a Dr S E Boorany from Johannesburg and it was then acquired by the second and last owner Hans Peter Dorfer who has been one of the leading lights and a pilgrim of Porsche cars in South Africa since the 1960’s. Peter (as he is known) trained at Porsche Salzburg under the iron hand of Ferry’s Porsche’s sister Louise Piëch, and moved to South Africa where he was co-owner of Porsche specialist Carrera Motors in Randburg, Johannesburg. He was also the ex Chairman of the Porsche 356 Club and registrar of the 356 Registry and was the proud carrier of the brand banner for Porsche in South Africa, dealing and servicing them from the early 1960’s right up until his retirement a couple of years ago. Although well into his 70’s, he is still happiest fiddling and fettling the air-cooled 356 engines.
 
Carrera Motors have now closed since his retirement and consequently his outstanding Porsche collection came out of hiding, some seeing the light of day for the first time after many years of being sealed away in his garage. https://www.specialistvehicleassociates.com/rare-porsche-sale-in-south-africa/
 
We acquired one of his beautiful 356C's from a contact in South Africa who purchased some of his collection and prior to shipping to the UK, it was fully re-commissioned and serviced by Porsche specialist 'Flat Six Performance' in Cape Town. The car only received minor cosmetic and mechanical fettling by Peter during his ownership and the speedometer is showing 86,054 miles which we are advised is its original mileage from new, but of course without an early records, we are unable to confirm this as correct, but there is no reason to doubt it!
 
The car is presented in beautiful condition throughout as any inspection will reveal, and it drives superbly. It is also still in its original specification as it left the factory and finished in the colour scheme of Signal Red (6407) with a Black Leatherette interior and retains its original Engine and Gearbox. It is believed to be one of only 300 RHD cars built in 1964 which does make it an exceptionally rare car indeed.

We have now UK registered the car with the DVLA and it has been issued with the age-related number plate DAP 576B.
 
Upon sale, the car will be given a new MOT (although now exempt) and it will come with our own 55 point checkover and a 6 Month Mechanical Warranty.
