This 1959 Porsche 356 A 1600 Super is a used car showing 59,996 km. It is equipped with a manual transmission. The car is finished in Silver Metallic with a Red interior.
Porsche delivered this 356 A with the 1600 Super engine, and it began life in California, where it still wears its black licence plate, a detail American collectors prize. That original matching-numbers engine has been rebuilt and comes with the car, but for now it runs on a 90 hp engine from a Porsche 912.
Its body and mechanics were restored some time ago, yet it keeps a light, honest patina: the body is clean with good panel fit, the chrome is bright and the cabin has not been over-restored. The seller reports light, precise steering, a lively engine and a crisp gearbox. A Porsche Certificate of Authenticity is included.
The car is located in Brummen, Netherlands.
