It is powered by an air-cooled 75-horsepower, 1.6-litre flat-four "Super" engine paired with a four-speed manual transmission. Combining an elegant, Reutter-built open-top design with engaging analogue handling, this rare classic remains a prized icon among global automotive collectors.This 1962 example, finished in Silver Metallic over black leather with charcoal German square weave carpet, underwent an extensive restoration by respected Porsche specialist Roger Bray Restoration in 2002/2003, supported by an extensive photographic record and hundreds of receipts, we are told. The engine fitted to the car was sourced from Elba Racing in Germany and built to SC specifications, before being further developed by Andy Prill, a name that needs little introduction in Porsche circles, with 1,720cc Shasta pistons and cylinders, a twin spark system and a full flow oil system. The gearbox was also rebuilt by Prill. Crucially, the original 75hp engine is retained by the owner, preserving the car's matching-numbers potential.Reportedly accompanied by a substantial history file, this is a compelling opportunity to acquire a thoughtfully restored and intelligently upgraded 356 B Cabriolet.image.png 977.01 KBHistory and PaperworkFirst registered in 1962Restoration carried out by Roger Bray Restoration in 2002/2003Hundreds of receipts for work carried out on the car, we are toldVendor notes there are many photographs documenting the restorationOriginal 75hp 1,582cc engine retained by the ownerTool kit and jack includedMOT expired September 2025; last tested September 2024 at an indicated 9,879 miles, first-time pass with no advisories9,910 miles indicatedimage.png 1021.89 KBThe ConditionSilver Metallic paintworkMinor bubbling on the bonnet to noteBlack soft topBlack leather interior with charcoal German square weave carpetNardi three-spoke wood-trimmed steering wheelHeadrests fittedBlaupunkt radioPush-out front quarter light windowsInertia reel seat belts with Porsche crested aircraft bucklesCoco floor mats15-inch wheels with chrome hubcaps featuring coloured Porsche crestsSpare wheel includedThis 1962 Porsche 356 Cabriolet is a desirable right-hand-drive example, finished in elegant Silver Metallic with a black soft top and black leather interior complemented by charcoal German square-weave carpet.
