1959 Porsche 356 A 1600 Super for Sale in the Netherlands

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.

The Porsche 356 A 1600 Super uses the 1.6-litre air-cooled flat-four in Super tune, mounted behind the rear axle, rated at 75 PS (55 kW) at 5,000 rpm, 117 Nm at 3,700 rpm and a top speed of 175 km/h, with a four-speed manual gearbox driving the rear wheels.

FAQ

This Porsche 356 in the European market

Is this Porsche 356 priced above or below the European market?

At €185,000, it sits below the median of €259,500 for the 7 Porsche 356 advertised in Europe in 2026. 14% of them are advertised for less. Asking prices are not transaction prices, and specification differences explain much of the spread.

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

The car is located in Brummen, Netherlands. The dealer quotes it as: VAT included and not reclaimable: sold 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 much did this Porsche 356 cost new?

The manufacturer's base list price was €2,829 in Germany, excluding options. This car is advertised at €185,000, 6439% above that figure. A list price is the launch price of the version without options, so a heavily specified car left the factory above it, and it says nothing about what the car is worth today. That 1958 list price is converted to euros with no adjustment for inflation.

How does the mileage of this Porsche 356 compare?

59,996 km recorded, against a median of 51,898 km across the Porsche 356 advertised in Europe in 2026. It is therefore among the higher-mileage cars currently listed. Service records and ownership details should be checked against the documents held by the selling dealer.

Which other Porsche 356 are priced closest to this one?

a 1953 car in the Netherlands at €224,500, and a 1962 car in the United Kingdom at €116,993. Observed in 2026. Comparing them means putting model year, mileage, factory options and the VAT basis side by side before the price itself.
