Trio Porsche 356: these drivers don't care if it rains

Fantastic restauration 'from scratch'


Epic story of a 15 year old who became a 356 connaisseur and is an authority at 24


Lovely patina on this 356 Coupe preserved 'as is'.

Bi-annual Dawn Raid:

You are all so wrong.

I daily drive both modern and old 911s and a well sorted 356 is right up there in terms of excitement. The damn things don't weigh anything.

About 90 brake is on par with an early 2 litre 911. As long as you're brave enough On our R Gruppe run the 356 did not hang about try one and you'll be hooked.

this is a nice 356 C
As someone on DDK says
its more fun driving slow cars fast rather than fast cars slow.

It is indeed. I write for Dutch RS Porsche Magazine and the 911 GTS was so boring I was tempted to loose my license...

Some random 356 pics I have in my albums:

Gijs van Lennep Rally 2013

A Speedster. For sale BTW.


Very early 356 at Porsche Days Zandvoort, 2018


On my way to testdrive a real Puma.

The essence of a 356 is its lightness and easy engine.

For a 170 brake 356 I'd start all over again!

Epic and rare Porsche 356 SC gem attracts. I can imagine this lighter than 911 sports car being a hard to get opponent for the mentioned six pot car. Prices sky rocketed since 10 years from 35k to triple figures

A perky 356 is a delight. IMO they offer a better drive when properly set up compared to an early SWB F-type 2 litre six pot. They don't have the magnesium to worry about... The lightness.

Within a month I organise a 20-piece Dawn Raid and at least 2 are 356 Porsches.

The Chesil 356 is a replica. From experience I can tell any replica offers a so much different drive to the original thing. A 356 (912) engine revs, for instance...

[dinkel]

Yeah, of course. Excellent! Liking it!

Three very special Porsche 356 specimens:

Amazing trio of fantastic runners and owners who care.

The other end of the spectrum is this grey beauty. I could not keep my eyes from this 356.
