As its Porsche certificate confirms, this 356 convertible was delivered new on 26th January 1961 by Competition Motors to Hollywood, California. It belonged to Johnny Von Neumann, an agency that significantly contributed to the popularity of the brand in the USA, selling its cars to local stars including James Dean. Painted “Heron Grey - 6007” with a leatherette interior, it was fitted with a 75 hp engine. It stayed in the Hollywood area until 1992, when it was imported into Germany. It only had two owners until 2016, and comes with an extensive maintenance file covering the 2002 - 2016 period, during which the car clocked up around 22,000 km. Its current owner, a collector of this model, bought it in Germany after the car had been restored and fitted with a 75hp engine from a 356 C. In April 2024, the car was entrusted to the specialist ZS Style for a general mechanical overhaul: mechanics removed and checked, complete lubrication, brakes adjusted and inspected... a bill for over €4,200 excluding VAT is included in the file, along with an appraisal report dated May 2024. This interesting cabriolet has beautiful midnight-blue fabric and leatherette upholstery, the soft top is in perfect condition and the dashboard is fitted with a Blaupunkt radio. An elegant Porsche ideal for riding in style this summer.
