Highlights Matching-numbers car, fully disassembled and awaiting restoration Desirable final-model 356C with 1,600cc engine and disc brakes all round One of the last 356s built, with chassis records confirming late 1964 production A rare opportunity to bespoke a 356 to your exact specification Supplied with NOVA documents ready for UK registration on completion The Appeal The 356C represents the final and most refined evolution of Ferdinand Porsche's original vision: a light, nimble, small-engined sports car that could embarrass much larger rivals. With its 1,600cc flat-four and disc brakes all round, the 'C' delivered improved performance and stopping power while retaining the achingly pure lines that defined the 356 from the outset. As one of the last built, this Reutter-bodied cabriolet sits at the very end of the production run, making it a particularly significant car. The market for good 356s is well established, and beautifully restored examples populate many of the world's finest collections. This is a rare chance to acquire a matching-numbers 356C that has been fully disassembled and awaits a ground-up rebuild to the new owner's precise specification. This is a thorough restoration project: the bodywork, engine, gearbox, trim, instruments, and most exterior fittings are present, but the car will require a complete reassembly and rebuild. A Pennsylvania certificate of title accompanies the car, along with NOVA documents that will allow UK registration once the restoration is complete.
