Porsche 356 Super A series with C series 1600 cc 75 HP engine from 1959. The vehicle was originally sold in San Francisco in 1959 (see original invoice) with special 5712 auratiungrun colour with Hard top and bumper with silvermetalic 5706 colour. The car is preserved in very original condition, for example, the bumpers have never been repainted. It arrived in Spain in 2007 and the body was restored a year later, changing the original green colour to red and installing a new soft top. In 2011 a mechanical restoration was done in an official Porsche workshop (enclosed invoices) and in 2017, all the electrical system was restored in a specialist workshop (see invoice), according to the original Porsche plans. It is currently in good preserved condition and working properly, the engine moves the car eagerly and all its components are in good working condition. The exterior paint is bright and has no damage or rust. It only has a small flaw (a small blow) on the right heel, which can only be seen leaning down to that point. It includes the very rare original Hard top painted in the same colour as the bodywork. The interior upholstery and hood were restored and are in excellent condition. Some original interior components show signs of wear due to the weather (see photos) but they work perfectly. The analog clock seems to not work properly and despite having recently installed a new radio from the time, the sound is not good. In 2011 it was overhauled in a Porsche workshop and the outdated components were replaced for original Porsche parts (invoice available) it has driven very few miles since then, but it has been started periodically to keep it in good condition. It has a Porsche certificate issued on 22/06/2018 certifying its originality.
