Completed on 21st July 1953 and finished in Azure Blue with grey leather interior, the car we offer is one of approximately 567 Super-engined 356s built for the 1953 model year (both coupé and cabriolet) and is likely to be one of only a handful of original 1500 Super Cabriolets to survive.
The file accompanying the car allows us to trace back to the earliest known owners, starting with Paul and Kathy Wesselinke in California from 1998, during whose ownership an extensive restoration was carried out (with some invoices, notes, and photographs on file). The Porsche was subsequently owned by Michael Madeiros Todd in 2003 and remained in the USA. That same year, it was sold to Trevor Keetley, who imported it into Australia in 2005. A new overhaul was undertaken at around this time. The current owner purchased it in 2016 and has since kept it mainly on static display in good storage conditions.
The photocopy of the Certificate of Authenticity issued by Porsche Cars North America Inc. in 1998 confirms that the engine numbers are matching. The other documents accompanying the car include photocopies of the 2003 US title, of the Australian importation invoice and of various notes, invoices, and photographs mentioned earlier in the text.
This rare 356 'Pre-A' 1500 Super Knickscheibe Cabriolet, featuring matching numbers on engine and chassis and presented in lovely condition after its older restoration that is holding up very well, is a truly exceptional find to acquire.
