Porsche 356 Coupé
(Fishsilver Grey)
Absolutely mint, never removed from its box
Up for sale is a 1:18 scale die-cast replica of the Porsche 356 Coupé, in fishsilver gray.Porsche's first production automobile, the Type 356, was a lightweight and nimble-handling, 4-cylinder, air-cooled, rear-engine, rear-wheel drive, two-door car, available both in hardtop coupé and open configurat...ions. Engineering innovations continued during the years of manufacture, contributing to its motorsports success and popularity. Production started in 1948 at Gmünd, Austria, where approximately 50 cars were built. In 1950 the factory relocated to Stuttgart-Zuffenhausen, Germany, and general production of the 356 continued until April 1965, well after the replacement model 911 made its autumn 1963 debut. In 1948 the mid-engine, tubular chassis 356 prototype called "No. 1" was completed. The 356 was created by Ferdinand "Ferry" Porsche (son of Ferdinand Porsche, founder of the German company), who founded the Austrian company with his sister, Louise. The chassis was a completely new design as was the 356's body which was designed by Porsche employee Erwin Komenda, while certain mechanical components including the engine case and some suspension components were based on, and initially sourced from, Volkswagen Beetle. Little noticed at its inception, mostly by a small number of auto racing enthusiasts, the first 356s sold primarily in Austria and Germany. By the early 1950s the 356 had gained some renown among enthusiasts on both sides of the Atlantic for its aerodynamics, handling, and excellent build quality. The class win at Le Mans in 1951 was a factor. It was common for owners to race the car as well as drive them on the streets. Increasing success with its racing and road cars brought Porsche orders for over 10, 000 units in 1964, and by the time 356 production ended in 1965 approximately 76, 000 had been produced.
This awesome model - very rare and so much sought-after by collectors - is in absolute mint condition, has never been removed from its original packaging, and stored away from sunlight in a smoke and pet free home.It has opening doors, bonnet and boot; full engine and suspension details.
