We are pleased to offer this 1959 Porsche 356A Cabriolet (Reutter-built) a car we know well from local car shows and events. This example benefits from an older repaint and interior re-trim in green leather. A stunning combination. Mechanically the car runs and drives well and has a new set of tires. The 356 is accompanied by its Porsche Certificate of Authenticity, confirming original production details the aforementioned factory hardtop and documentation.

This example also benefits from a factory hardtop, a desirable and valuable accessory that significantly enhances usability and aesthetics.

The car received a driver-quality restoration in 2009 under prior ownership. Since completion, it has been shown locally at concours and PCA events, reflecting both pride of ownership and consistent care. Today, it presents as a very usable, honest driver with minor cosmetic flaws consistent with enjoyment rather than over-restoration.

The car is currently finished in a non-original but highly attractive Ivory exterior paired with a beautiful green leather interior, a classic and elegant color combination that suits the 356's lines exceptionally well. While not factory-correct in color, the presentation is cohesive, tasteful, and widely appealing.

A beautiful driver quality example ideal to use for local shows, weekend drives or tours and rally. At this price, opportunities like are increasingly difficult to find.
