1961 Porsche 356 B T6 'Twin Grille' Roadster by D'Ieteren.

-One of only 248 produced.
-Fitted with the desirable Super 90 engine.
-For sale from a private collection.
-Totally restored by German specialist Hackenberg.
-With Porsche certificate.

The iconic and truly rare twin-grille 356 B T6 Roadster was only produced during 1961 by Belgian coach builders D`Ieteren, of which only 248 cars were built. After the 356 B T5 bodystyle was discontinued in 1961, Porsche decided to outsource production of this new variant, same as they had done with the T5 Roadsters which were built by Drauz. Nonetheless, after the small batch of cars were produced, Porsche decided to halt production in favour of the T6 Cabriolet, which was sold during 1962 and 1963. Aside from the Carrera cars, these are perhaps the most special and rarest of the Porsche 356 models. 

The new 356B was available with three different pushrod engines, the 1600 and 1600S continuing unchanged but with the addition of the new Super 90 featuring twin-choke carburettors, larger inlet valves and a reworked cylinder head to increase power output. The brakes were improved, with better friction linings and the drums now had 72 light alloy ribs to keep them cool.

As only 58 cars were fitted originally with the Super 90 engine, apparently it was a fairly common conversion to fit the 1600 models with the Super 90 engines in period, as must be the case with this unit.

According to the Porsche Certificate, the unit offered left the factory on 13th November 1961 and was imported to San Francisco (USA) by Porsche Car Pacific. Its early history is not know, but the car was importad back to Germany many years ago, from where its current Spanish owner acquired it.

The new fastidious owner, a Porsche collector from Madrid, commissioned a total restoration to the German Porsche 356 specialist Hackenberg, who carried out the work between 2006 and 2008. There is a complete photo set of the restoration process and many invoices totalising up to 50.000 euros, although very probably the total cost was much higher.

The car is presented in its attractive original colours Reihergrau (a sort of english old white) and green upholstery.  The car has seen little use in the last years but has been always kept running and well cared. It has valid normal Spanish documents.

Unique Objects

Occasionally, two different bidders may show up in the bidding history with the same bid amount. This occurs when one user's bid is exactly the same as an automatic (maximum) bid placed by another user earlier. Since the auto-bid was placed first, this takes preference. The bidding history will show both bids, with the auto-bid ranked as the higher of the two.


Double bid

It may appear that the same bid has been placed by two different bidders. This can occur if someone places a bid in another currency which is then rounded to the same amount as the previous bid in %{local_currency}.

This can occur for the following reasons:
<p>1. If an opening bid does not meet a lot’s reserve price (hidden minimum), buyers may try outbidding their earlier bid in order to find that lot’s RP.</p>
<p>2. If an auto-bid (user-set maximum bid) is outbid, the bidding log will show the first and final steps of that user's auto-bid in a row. The new highest bid will be shown at the top.</p>

Why is this bidder outbidding him- or herself?
