Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

Blaupunkt multi-band radio, silver steel wheels, hubcaps, blackwall Michelin radials, Marchal fog light and driving light, folding rear seat, windshield washers.

Condition

Excellent movable panel fits, paint, chrome and interior. Underbody was done like new and shows a few miles but is still like a six-month old new car.

Market commentary

The rare metallic color breathed additional life into the bidding on this Porsche, life that its 44hp 1300 Normal engine doesn't provide. The result is entirely appropriate and the new owner got a beautiful, if slow, Porsche. 44hp is only eight more ponies than a '56 1100cc Volkswagen.
