My opinion - what a lovely looking car in the perfect colour combo

[DavidJG]

Don't know that particular car, although my dad ran a 356B for a few months many years ago.

That's a 4 cylinder Porsche I would definitely buy!

Beautiful car, great colour combination too.

Does anyone know what the button/pedal to the left of the clutch is for?

[Koln-RS]

windscreen washer I think, or main beam?

lovely looking cars, but very vintage to drive - 75bhp, brakes from the '50s, and seats you'll slide out of on a bend.

That's a super 90 so 89bhp!! Originals will have drum brakes all round. It's a rare beast in RHD with that engine and all the papers.

Lovely looking thing and be funny to see it alongside a modern 911.

Really beginning to like the 356. Beautiful looking car There is a bloke local to me who has one & it is stunning.
I am pretty sure the foot switch is for the washers

[sng45]

It's for the main beam - the windscreen washer is on the dashboard

[Legacywr]

£146,250!

[astroarcadia]

Wow.

[Legacywr]

Not you then?

[astroarcadia]

Sadly no, my dad was interested up to around 110.

£146k + 12.5% !

Blimey that's a lot, I looked into importing super 90 from California few months back. $70000 but needed quite a bit of work to get back on road and LHD matching numbers but no papers.
