1955 Porsche 356 Continental Cabriolet for Sale in Germany

This 1955 Porsche 356 Continental Cabriolet is a used car showing 1,212 km. It is equipped with a manual transmission. The car is finished in Black R501 with a Red interior.

Reutter handed this cabriolet to Porsche on 21 June 1955 with body number 60860, painted R501 black over Rosanil 2178 wine-red leather. It carries the Continental name that the American importer gave the last pre-A cars, and it went straight to the United States. There it was offered for sale in 1995 as a lady's car showing 79,000 miles, with first prizes at the San Diego Car Show in 1989, 1990 and 1991.

Once back in Europe it went through a first restoration that fell short, then a complete second one with the specialist Harald Hackenberg, which returned it to its original delivery colours. Engine and paint both match the factory record.

The car is located in Düsseldorf, Germany.

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.

FAQ

This Porsche 356 in the European market

Can this Porsche 356 be bought in Germany and registered elsewhere in Europe?

The car is located in Düsseldorf, Germany. The dealer has not stated whether the price is quoted gross, net of VAT for export, or under the margin scheme. Cross-border purchase is normal for this kind of car, but the documentation, the certificate of conformity, transport and the registration rules of the destination country all have to be settled with the selling dealer first.

How does the mileage of this Porsche 356 compare?

1,212 km recorded, against a median of 43,800 km across the Porsche 356 advertised in Europe in 2026. It is therefore among the lower-mileage cars currently listed. Service records and ownership details should be checked against the documents held by the selling dealer.

Who is selling this Porsche 356, and how does a purchase work?

Movendi, a professional dealer in Düsseldorf, Germany. LUSSO lists the car and passes enquiries to that dealer; the inspection, the negotiation, the invoice and the transfer of ownership all take place directly between the buyer and the dealer. LUSSO does not hold stock, take deposits or act as an intermediary in payment.

Can this Porsche 356 be inspected before purchase?

The car is at Düsseldorf, Germany, and an inspection is arranged with the selling dealer. Buyers based in another country commonly appoint an independent inspector or a marque specialist rather than travel. Ask the dealer for the service record, the number of previous owners and any accident history, with supporting documents for the information stated in the listing.

Is this Porsche 356 still available?

LUSSO republishes what the selling dealer advertises, and a car in demand is sometimes reserved or sold before the dealer updates its own site. Confirm current availability with Movendi before travelling or committing funds. An enquiry sent from this page reaches that dealer directly.

What is needed to register this car if it does not stay in Germany?

A cross-border registration normally requires the vehicle registration document, the certificate of conformity or an equivalent type-approval record, the purchase invoice showing the VAT treatment, and proof that any tax due in the destination country has been settled. Temporary export plates and transport insurance are arranged either by the dealer or by the buyer. Requirements differ by country and should be confirmed with the selling dealer before payment.

Where can I see the wider Porsche 356 market?

LUSSO publishes a market overview for the 356, covering current asking prices in Europe, availability by country, why prices differ, how VAT works on a cross-border purchase and what to compare between two cars.
