RECENT CLASSIC CAR SALES AT AUCTION IN SOUTH AFRICA

1962 PORSCHE 356 BT6 CABRIOLET

Sale Dates: Tuesday 20 April, 2010 until Wednesday 21 April, 2010

1600cc engine, Chassis No. WP1ZZZ9PZ8LA17443, Engine No. 63816006, manual transmission, bodywork by Reutter, Winner in class, 2009 Porsche 356 Registry Concours D’Etat. Right-hand drive, finished in Bali Blue (Porsche colour 6212) with black Haartz Fabric Cabriolet, grey leather interior (a standard option with cabriolets in 1962) with black German square weave carpet and rubber floor mats.

Freshly built 1600 engine with Zenith carburettors (less than 1,000km). The engine is fitted with the stronger 912 crank and lighter cam followers. Perhaps the only concession to originality is that the car has been fitted with an additional oil filter discreetly mounted in the engine compartment to keep the oil cleaner and assist in reducing engine temperatures during the hot South African days.

A ground-up restoration completed from 2006-2009. This restoration included new floorboards, battery box and door bottoms. All electrics refreshed. All gauges restored.

This car is one of several that were shipped to South Africa in a semi knocked-down format. This makes the car unique in that it does not show its build information on the Porsche Kardex system, and therefore, does not have any factory original colour or option information. None the less, this car has been finished in an original factory colour combination. Whilst the car was originally fitted with a hard top (as were all the vehicles shipped in semi knock down), it has subsequently been replaced with the more desirable factory original cabriolet.
