invoice dates to 1987 at 51,191 miles, after which it was driven

years.
After years in storage, the 356SC was transported to European
Collectibles for necessary maintenance and repairs to ensure a
smooth return to the open road. The work included overhauling the
braking system by replacing the master cylinder, brake hoses, and
bleeding the brakes. The jets were cleaned, the accelerator pump
diaphragms were replaced, and the valves were adjusted. Lastly, the
fuel pump and distributor were rebuilt while new spark plugs and
axle boots were installed. Cosmetically, the interior was
completely reupholstered with Black German material including
charcoal square weave carpeting, front and rear seats, door panels,
rear panels, and dash. Subsequently, the undercarriage was
completely stripped to bare metal and recoated with a German Wurth
undercoat while the suspension components were repainted. With
these comprehensive maintenance measures completed, this 356SC
Coupe is now ready to deliver a thrilling driving experience once
again.
