This 1955 Porsche 356 is a used car first registered in January 1955, showing 2,500 km. It is powered by a petrol engine rated at 54 PS (40 kW). It is equipped with a manual transmission. The car is finished in Silver with a Red interior. It is a 2-seat car.

The Porsche 356 1500 uses the 1,488 cc air-cooled flat-four, mounted behind the rear axle, rated at 55 PS (40 kW), with a four-speed manual gearbox and rear-wheel drive. The pre-A 356 ran until the autumn of 1955, when the 356 A replaced it; the one-piece bent windscreen came in 1952, and the steel bodies were built by Reutter in Stuttgart.

The 356 is Porsche's first production car. The first fifty or so were built at Gmünd in Austria before the company moved to Zuffenhausen in 1950, and about 76,000 were made before production ended in 1965. A class win at Le Mans in 1951 set the marque's reputation.
