As the brainchild of Ferry Porsche, the 356 made Porsche successful worldwide and paved the way for the 911. Automobile enthusiasts adored the little sports cars from Germany that had a lively four-cylinder engine and fantastic handling. Many owners used their 356s as their primary transportation during the week and then raced them on the weekends without issue, giving Porsche a reputation for excellent build quality and reliability that remains to this day.

Presented wonderfully, is this restored 1961 Porsche 1600S Sunroof Coupe. The paintwork shows nicely and is completed in an attractive shade of red. The red paint is carried through onto the dashboard; and also on the front and rear bumpers. The car is rolling on chrome wheels with chrome center caps. The interior has been completed with black leather pleated upholstery. The dash is filled with VDO instrumentation and a VDO electric clock. Powering this desirable Porsche is a 1,600-cc four-cylinder engine that is fueled by dual carburetors topped with polished air cleaners. Transferring power to the rear wheels is a four-speed manual gearbox.

Introduced in 1959, the 356B proved to be the most popular of all 356 variants, with about 30,000 total units produced. The 356B featured a new front end, with slightly raised headlights, finned brake drums, and new transmission mounts, amongst other minor changes to further refine the driving experience that made the 356 famous.
