It is so good seeing these Pre-A Porsches being saved from the junk pile. When I first got into this 356 agenda the Pre-A models were viewed with more than a bit of scorn, or least something that was not safe to be on the road. They are, in their way, a beautiful example of the "Made by Hand" vehicles of the 40's and early 50's. Please keep the pictures coming. And you friend can certainly throw in a few words in French!

Looks like the early Adria blue metallic, yes? Thanks for sharing Arlo.

Engine looks really nice too. Nice to see the original '55 Fram canister on there. =)
