Engineering innovations continued during the years of manufacture, contributing to its motorsports success and popularity. Production started in 1948 at Gm�nd, Austria, where Porsche built approximately 50 cars. In 1950 the factory relocated to Zuffenhausen, Germany, and general production of the 356 continued until April 1965, well after the replacement model 911 made its September 1964 debut. Of the 76,000 originally produced, approximately half survive.In late 1955, with numerous small but significant changes, the 356 A was introduced. Its internal factory designation, 'Type 1', gave rise to its nickname 'T1' among enthusiasts. In the US, 1,200 early 356s had been badged as the 'Continental' and then a further 156 from autumn 1955 to January 1956 as an even rarer T1 'European' variant after which it reverted to its numerical 356 designation. In early 1957 a second revision of the 356 A was produced, known as Type 2 (or T2).Introducing our lovely 356 A 1600 Coupe.
