History
We are now in August 1956 and from the Pre A versions the Porsche 356 A is now the latest production in the 356 model series. This is a 356 A Coupé T1 vehicle supplied in a grey, brown metallic colour with brown beige leather interior. This vehicle was originally sold to San Francisco and again it was from the years when Max Hoffman had his exclusive distributorship in the US.
After a good life in the north of California it was exported to Italy around 20 years ago, where it went through a complete restauration job on both body, gearbox, and engine. It was bought by a real Italian 356 enthusiast who was a member of the Italian 356 club and as rare extras – mentionable are sunroof (handle operated), mechanical dashboard clock, front windbreaker in side windows, of course due to US model it was installed with US bumpers with overrider bars.
