Never been that big on Porsches but earlier this week I learned of the 356 model and this one is probably one of the best out there ... an FIA specification model!
This isn't just "Car of the Day"!
=== FOR SALE ===
1953 Porsche 356
FIA-spec pre-A
A fast road/race FIA-spec 1953 Porsche 356 pre-A fully restored by Roger Bray and team with a fresh engine and gearbox by Andy Prill and colleagues. Initially supplied by Sonauto, the car came to the UK from long-term ownership in the US five years ago. It has been painted in its original fish silver-grey and fitted with aluminium bonnet and boot lids. It has an overhauled steering box, suspension and brakes, with wider GT-type drums on the front, a new loom and electrics and perspex side and rear windows. Inside, there is a half cage, a red works-type steering wheel and a pair of speedster seats with harnesses.
The engine has a billet crank and high compression pistons together with race-spec rods and cam and is fitted with twin double choke Solex carburettors. The gearbox has slightly shorter third and fourth gears and a period-type limited slip differential. The car was completed last summer and, after being displayed at Hedingham Castle, made a faultless racing debut at the Goodwood Revival. More recently it took part in the recreation of the first ever historic sports car race in the UK. It is equally at home on the road and comes with full UK-issued FIA papers and a spares package.
