Reutter like Kardex

[Adam Wright]

Has anyone seen one of these from Reutter. Apparently you can order one for your car that has their build sheet.

Too bad my car was made by Drauz.

Apparently the price is 356 Euro, even that is cool.

Adam,
Reutter became Porsche in '64; who is what here?

[Jules Dielen]

Orderd one in may, still waiting. Its not reutter but i believe erlkönig has the ok to use their name.

[Thomas Frisardi]

I'd love to know what happened to similar records at Drauz. Anyone?

The Reutter "Kardex" shows two different numbers for the door locks and the ignition lock.

As suggested by Adam, contact info@erlkoenig-classic.de and you'll get a multi-paragraph email back which describes an elaborate "Certificate", saying the price is about $230 (not including VAT but including shipping worldwide). Guido Eickholz states delivery, quote:

As we already received quite a lot orders from Porsche 356 owners all over the world and our accurate research for the certificate takes it´s time, we´ll thank you for your patience that from date of ordering to secured shipping of the certificate it will take at least two weeks.
The certificate is available in german language and in english, please let us know what you prefer.


As Jules mentioned, delivery could be much longer. And, as Ron asked, what about 356C cars that were not built by Reutter but officially by Porsche. Same with T-6 cars built by Karmann.

This Reutter "Kardex" is for a 1952 pre-A Cabriolet so it's plausible they didn't match all the locks.

It appears these certificates would remove some of the little mysteries, like what color the door top moldings, knobs, and floor mats really were on a specific car. The best Brett Johnson's The 356 Porsche, a Restorer's Guide to Authenticity offered for T-2 and T-5 door tops was "a complimentary color to the upholstery."
