Description
1960 – Porsche 356 B Drauz Roadster Chassis no. 86899 French classic car registration certificate ‘Pure lines and timeless elegance’    The Porsche 356 ‘Drauz’ Roadster refers to the very first Roadster models (356 B generation), assembled by the German coachbuilder Drauz in Heilbronn between 1959 and 1961. Recognisable by their distinctive badge on the front wing, these models – of which around 2,600 were produced – defined the Roadster’s style: a low-slung silhouette, a windscreen with a chrome surround, and superior comfort to the Speedster thanks to full-length windows and a soft top.In late 1961, production moved to the Belgian coachbuilder D’Ieteren, making the Drauz versions the pioneers of this legendary model range.   The centrepiece of its historical dossier, its official Porsche certificate of authenticity confirms that the car is a ‘matching numbers’ example with a Type 616/1 engine, delivering 60 ch.   Whilst the certificate reveals that it was originally painted red, the car underwent a high-calibre restoration in California in 2013. During this restoration, the bodywork was completely stripped down to receive a sumptuous and elegant dark navy blue paint finish. This comprehensive restoration carried out in the United States has given it a remarkable appearance and aesthetic integrity. Upon its arrival in France in 2017, this example underwent rigorous maintenance and a meticulous inspection by a firm of motoring experts. Its latest official valuation, amounting to €200,000, attests to the high quality of its restoration and its excellent mechanical condition.   Eligible for the world’s historic rallies and the most prestigious concours d’élégance, this 356 Roadster represents a rare opportunity to acquire a major milestone in the history of the Stuttgart-based marque, at a very attractive estimate.
