This beautifully presented Porsche 356 Coupe is a particularly interesting and highly desirable example, representing one of the transitional T1/T2 cars produced during 1957. Combining features from both generations, these cars occupy a unique place within 356 production and are increasingly appreciated by collectors for their distinctive specification and relative rarity.

Originally supplied through Raftay of Hamburg, the car was delivered new to a serving member of the British Armed Forces stationed in Germany. Finished today in Solid Black with a beautifully contrasting Burgundy Leather interior, it remains an exceptionally attractive and characterful example. Of particular note are the factory sunroof and integral driving lights, both believed to be original factory-installed features.

The car benefits from a substantial restoration completed during 2007. The body restoration was undertaken by respected marque specialist Cliff Gregory before final assembly and completion by renowned Porsche 356 authority Roger Bray. Accompanying the vehicle is an extensive history file containing restoration invoices, detailed records and photographs documenting the work carried out. The quality of the restoration is evident throughout, with exceptional bodywork, excellent panel fit and precise shut lines.

As a transitional T1/T2 example, the car retains a fascinating combination of features including early style door handles with later buttons, the higher mounted T1 door catch arrangement and desirable teardrop rear lights. These subtle details highlight its position between two important stages of 356 development and contribute significantly to its appeal amongst knowledgeable enthusiasts.

Having covered just over 2,000 miles since completion of the restoration, much of which was accumulated whilst touring around the Italian Lakes, the car presents superbly today and remains exceptionally well preserved.

A rare opportunity to acquire a highly attractive right-hand drive Porsche 356 Coupe with fascinating provenance, specialist restoration history and desirable factory options. A beautifully restored and exceptionally well documented example of one of Porsche's most iconic early models.

JZM, the brand and purpose JZM’s origins begin in 1983 driven by a passion for the very special 911 sports car developed and refined over 60 years. A passion that has not wavered, we love Porsche as superfans do, after all three quarters of them are still on the road today. Our thing is – all the best bits – Porsche GT’s, RS’s, special models, rare beasts and exemplary examples are our niche. We are here to keep these beautiful things on the road, running at their supreme best. JZM Service Porsche love being looked after in the correct way with the ‘TLC’ Hans Mezger would approve of. We were around in the early days and still apply our knowledge and experience to every car we handle. For us servicing a Porsche is to look after an automotive thoroughbred. JZM Fine Tuning With such a highly refined car as a Porsche, there are few margins for improvement. We can tailor a car for your driving aspirations and over the years we’ve tried almost everything, which informs us of what works and what doesn’t. Our experience is a tuning fast-lane to your Porsche expectations and wishes come true. JZM Future There’s not a Porsche we haven’t relished engaging with, and there are a few tricky ones but, even as petrolheads the latest Taycan is testament to the Porsche DNA we understand and love. The GT’s of all eras are in our blood and we continue to cherish and nurture these fabulous driving machines. JZM Commitment We’re honest and as up front as we can be, we tell it how it is. A car is made up of thousands of moving parts and electronics, they’re complicated enough. Every Porsche at JZM is treated as a favourite – a bold statement and a big commitment, but after 40 years in we’re in too deep to get this passionate about anything else. Machtech 1983 Machtech opened the doors in 1983 as Bosch petrol injection and diagnostic specialists. Steve McHale became one of the first of very few Bosch Systems Technicians in the UK. Accredited Bosch service agents Machtech were trained specialists in Bosch D-Jetronic, K-Jetronic, KE-, L-, LE-, LH- and Motronic engine management systems. During the 1980’s and ’90’s Steve competed against Brundell’s Andy Rouse, Stirling Moss, Tiff Needell, John Cleland, Gerry Marshall, Tony Lanfranchi, Barry Williams, Steve Soper and many more in the Willhire 24 hour races at Snetterton. We tuned Porsche’s for nearly all of the UK specialists that competed in Porsche racing during this period which was first sponsored by Giroflex seating then Bridgstone tyres and finally Pirelli. Machtech became UK agent for Michael Roock Sportsystem of Le Mans 24hr fame and over the years the connections and network grew to include Olaf Manthey (Manthey Racing), David Brodie (BBR), Barry Curtis (356 race specialist), Ansgar Wiesen (VGS Tuning) and Porsche Cars GB.
