Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

Non-original but correct for a '61 Normal 1600 engine. Has been converted to 12-volt electrics and fitted with wider than standard chrome wheels. Original wheels come with the car. Bridgestone Potenza tires, Blaupunkt pushbutton radio, locking glovebox.

Condition

#2 Excellent

Could win a regional car show. Drives like new.

About Hagerty’s condition ratingsClose

Very good paint and chrome. Phenomenal interior. Very clean underneath. A gorgeous, fresh B Cabriolet that leaves little to be desired (except its original engine).

Market commentary

Generously priced with its replacement engine but beautifully presented and that counts a lot. Porsche buyers can be fussy about details, but it's not hard to fall for a handsome car with an inviting interior.
