Rare pre-A Knickscheibe Porsche, one of only around 1,300 cabriolets built, beautifully restored and presented in a distinctive and original colour combination. The Sandgrau exterior with red leather interior and light brown soft top give the car a charming 1950s appearance. This is one of the last Knickscheibe cabriolets without the horn grilles, which lends the Porsche a powerful simplicity and makes it highly sought after.

In February 1954, the Porsche was registered by Hoffman, the well-known dealer in New York. In the late 1980s, the car was expertly restored in Italy, both mechanically and in terms of bodywork. This is evident in the exceptionally precise panel fit. The 1500 engine is of the correct type and has been built to the proper specifications. In 2018, the interior and soft top were restored according to Reutter’s Farbmusterkarte (included with the car), and minor imperfections were addressed.

The car currently has EU registration and comes with its Porsche Certificate of Authenticity. This Porsche belongs to the earliest series of 356s, the “Pre-A,” a non-official designation that arose when the later A, B, and C series were introduced. The now highly desired Knickscheibe was, in 1953, the first Porsche to feature a one-piece windscreen.
This 356 offers a unique opportunity to own a rare and faithfully restored example from the early years of this legendary marque.
