Description from the seller
Thank you very much for your interest in our Porsche Diesel Master 408.
As connoisseurs have already noted, this is the rarest Porsche specimen!, with the well-known 7-speed transmission and the double seats in a row.
The 408 Master was actually intended for the American market, and there were a few originally European-delivered. This is one of the rarest original European-delivered models with hydraulics and a lifting device!
This Master is in very good condition. It was completely rebuilt a few years ago and beautifully restored.
The 4-cylinder 50HP engine starts immediately and runs fantastically. The engine is equipped with numerous new parts and recently, in 3-2024, the cylinder heads were newly machined and pressure-tested. The engine is also smoke- and oil-consumption free!
The steering unit has been completely rebuilt and is also fitted with new quality parts, making this Master drivable with two fingers!
Complete with the rare wheel weights and the two original front weights.
Chassis and sheet metal have been stripped and repainted at an auto body shop in the original Porsche color.
New wiring, lighting, fuses and battery.
New seats, seat springs and new fender seats with cushions.
The 7 gears shift perfectly without extra noise! Brakes work well, including the handbrake.
4 new tires.
Lifting device, PTO front and rear functioning well.
But of course what it all comes down to is that this Porsche is matching numbers! The engine and chassis numbers match.
The Porsche comes with complete German papers; we can help organize worldwide transport.
Top investment and only a few known remaining from the small edition.
After restoration it has been kept dry and warm in the collection and has occasionally attended small gatherings.

Disclaimer
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. It is advised to carefully read our submission guidelines that further describe details about the condition grades and types to manage your expectations. 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. Neither the seller nor Catawiki is responsible for the registration of the vehicle in your country and will not accept a cancellation for your failure to register the vehicle. We also recommend that, if possible, you arrange a viewing with the seller before placing a bid.
