Prior to its current ownership, Tuthill Porsche were asked to give the car a thorough ‘going over’, with invoices on file for just shy of £13,000.
A few years later it was acquired by the current owner, and under his ownership the car has been serviced by the likes of R.G.A Porsche, and most recently by Rindt, where they also replaced the following:
Distributor cap
Spark plugs
Fuel pump
Fuel hoses
Fluid service
Upon arriving with us for sale, we had the car fully inspected and commissioned some minor remedial work carried out. The underside has been stripped and rust proofed, and the exhaust system has benefitted from all new gaskets.
Cylinder compressions are all coming back between 130-150psi.
As always, if you would like to make an appointment to come and view, please don’t hesitate to get in touch!

In its most simple form, it is a 356 C with a period correct 1600 SC engine fitted (1964).
The car was subject to a full inspection upon arriving with us, and is supplied with an extensive invoice file.
