Buyer’s notes
About the Porsche 356 B Coupe
The 356 B arrived in late 1959 with the T5 body update and was built until 1963, the best-selling 356 series. The Super 90 was the fastest of the pushrod versions; only the four-cam Carreras were quicker.
What moves the price
- Engine: Super 90 and matching numbers.
- Documentation: Kardex and Certificate of Authenticity.
- Originality and the quality of any restoration.
Before you buy, check
- The numbers against the Kardex.
- Corrosion in the floors, sills and battery area.
- Evidence of the original colour and specification.
