This attractive Porsche 356 A convertible D was the subject of a comprehensive restoration in 2016. During that time, It was refinished in its original color combination of Meissen Blue over a red interior. Shortly after the restoration was completed it was sold to a Porsche collector who titled it in Alaska, but always kept the car in his collection in San Diego, CA. While there, service and repair work was performed by Wayne Baker's Personalized Autohaus until he retired, then Black Forest Automotive. Receipts on hand detail a very thorough post-purchase inspection was performed by Baker and many minor details were corrected. Later, after some difficulty with shifting, Baker, rebuilt the gearbox with all new syncros, bearings, and a taller fourth gear. He also replaced the clutch, flywheel and axle boots.
After being purchased by European Collectibles in August 2024, the undercarriage was stripped to bare steel where we found some prior repairs that weren't up to our standards. The metal work was corrected and re-coated to concours standards. Next, we set about fine-tuning the engine and completely rebuilding the brake system. We are now proud to offer this well-sorted driver that is presented in its very desirable color combination and complete with a matching number engine.
