Description from the seller

History and Technical Specifications
The 'C' series is the latest and most refined of the 356 dynasty. Introduced in 1963, it brought fundamental innovations that made driving significantly more modern and safer. The main novelty was the introduction of disc brakes on all wheels, which required the design of new rims and the characteristic flat chrome hubcaps (lacking the Porsche crest). Fast, robust, and surprisingly comfortable, the 356 C remains one of the most loved Porsches for touring use and in major regularity classics.
Condition and external appearance
The car has benefited from a careful restoration carried out in previous years, extensively documented by a photographic record.
Bodywork: Painted in the early 2000s, the bodywork still presents itself in excellent condition today. The paint is shiny and well-applied, a testament to the quality of work done at the time and the meticulous preservation in a climate-controlled garage.
Details: The chromes, the specific wheels of the C series, and the gaskets are in perfect condition, maintaining the understated elegance typical of Stuttgart.
MECHANICS
The mechanics have been subject to constant and professional care.
Engine: Completely rebuilt in the early 2000s and recently revised with the restoration or replacement of key components to ensure maximum reliability. It is currently in excellent condition, ready to undertake long journeys.
Chassis: The vehicle has been regularly serviced; the disc braking is ready, and the setup is precise, offering that communicative driving experience that only a 356 can provide.
Interiors
The interior is a perfect example of conservation and conservative restoration.
Selleria: The black leather seats have been restored to new, respecting the materials and the original grains.
Instrumentation: All original VDO instrumentation is functional, with clear gauges and correct lighting. The interiors, although maintained over the years, are now in a state of perfection, free of signs of wear and with an untouched vintage charm.
This Porsche 356 C is an investment for those seeking a car ready for the most important international events. Thanks to the FIVA and ASI Targa Oro certifications, it is the ideal choice for the discerning collector who wants a 'turnkey' vehicle, with a transparent mechanical history documented photographically.

Catawiki always aims to offer you the best possible buying experience. Our experts virtually review and select every vehicle in line with our submission guidelines and we require our sellers to provide the most accurate description of the vehicle. However, providing a fully detailed analysis of the vehicle is extremely difficult, and close to impossible. To guide you, we ask our sellers to provide information about the vehicle’s condition. Please consider that most vehicles for sale are classic vehicles and they often already have a whole life behind them, meaning that even a condition 1 or 2 vehicle might need maintenance to be ready for the road.

Cars are sold “as is”, meaning as described and in the condition they are in at the time of the sale and without any representation, warranty or assumption of liability of any kind as to the condition by Catawiki or by the seller. The condition of this item is the opinion of the seller and may differ from yours, your local garage, or the dealer’s opinion. This does not automatically mean the car does not conform to its description. Before bidding, please check your local legislation regarding vehicle registration.
