Description
1956 (built 55) Porsche
356 T1 ‘A’ Coupe RHD
We are proud to offer for
sale on behalf of our customer, a very rare right-hand drive example of the
ever popular T1 ‘A’ Coupe.
Original UK delivered AFN
car.
It was the 101st Porsche
sold by AFN (Fraser Nash) through the dealer Moortown Motors. According to
records it was the first RHD car supplied with Zenith carburettors.
Porsche completion date
was 28th November 1955 and the car was delivered 22nd February 1956 to its
first owner C.R Cornish.
Somewhere along the way
it has had its engine swapped to 63282, a later engine of exactly the same spec
and its gearbox has also been changed to a later type 644 tunnel box for
improvement.
The old records also show
the car being an original Silver car but with a red interior. It now fashions
black leather seats and retains its iconic Silver exterior.
Mechanically the car has
been maintained regardless of cost and makes a 370 round mile trip to be
serviced with no problems at all. The mechanics have been worked on in a way to
make the car reliable with a twin piston brake master cylinder and a carb choke
system set up. The body-work has acceptable door gaps, the engine lid and
bonnet could be better. There is no rust but there is signs of old previous repairs,
much as would be expected with any UK delivered car. In fact it was a pleasant
surprise to look under the car and NOT see a whole rake of poor workmanship.
Inside the front boot floor is slightly distorted, there is no evidence of why?
The more astute eye will also notice that the car has later type rear lights
and not the more desirable twin bee-hive style which would have been originally
fitted.
To sum up, the car is a
very respectable pretty little driving car that would benefit from further work
or just enjoyed as it is….It is 63 years old !
It’s a perfect candidate
for a mild Outlaw/GT look…
The car will come with a
new MOT and we will also carry out a full services prior to hand over.
