Seller's Notes

This Porsche 356 B 1600 Super 90 is a highly desirable and iconic classic air-cooled sports car, offered from long-term ownership and benefitting from a meticulous restoration. Under the rear engine lid sits its original 1.6-litre air-cooled flat-four, delivering around 66kW to the rear wheels via a four-speed manual transmission. This original, ‘numbers-matching’ Australian-market example has been with the seller for around 18 years. The odometer indicates 69,741 miles, though this is not warranted. Build year: 1960 The 356 B was produced between 1960 and 1963, and featured raised headlamps, a larger bonnet handle, front window vents, an upgraded gearbox and brakes, a revised steering wheel, and redesigned rear seats. The Super 90 featured an uprated engine with twin carburettors and light alloy cylinder barrels, delivered up to 90PS (66kW), giving it its name. This example is finished in the bold shade of Royal Blue, over a beige leatherette-trimmed interior, featuring a body-coloured lower dashboard, and woven carpets. It rides on a set of 15-inch body-coloured steel wheels with chrome hubcaps featuring coloured Porsche crests, fitted with Atlas whitewall tyres. Equipment includes a front bonnet handle, a green-tinted windscreen, a three-spoke steering wheel, a Blaupunkt push-button radio, push-out front and rear quarterlight windows, door card storage pockets, and glow-in-the-dark VDO gauges. The car comes with photo records documenting the restoration, two keys, a spare wheel, a Porsche 356 owner’s workshop manual, a 356 ‘Technical and Restoration Guide’, a certificate of origin from Porsche, and a Porsche magazine. Please refer to the photo gallery to assess the exterior and interior condition. Specific notes from the seller include: the car was resprayed in its original colour during the restoration, and the interior has been retrimmed from its original red leatherette to beige. This 356 B’s most recent maintenance was carried out in November 2024 at around an indicated 69,500 miles by Autohaus Hamilton, which consisted of a full engine rebuild. The seller notes that the car is serviced annually regardless of if it has been driven or not. A meticulous rotisserie restoration has been carried out over the seller’s long-term ownership, which included the car being fully stripped down, a full respray, and the interior being reupholstered. This Porsche 356 B 1600 Super 90 is a highly desirable and timelessly stylish classic air-cooled sports car, offered from long-term ownership and benefitting from a meticulous restoration. Presented with an appealing Royal Blue finish over tasteful beige leatherette upholstery, and boasting a recently rebuilt numbers-matching engine, alongside an iconic silhouette, it would make a stunning addition to any assembly of Stuttgart’s finest, and a wonderful companion for weekend drives, fair-weather cruising, and classic car show visits alike.
