After eighteen months of extension body restoration and a top end overhaul of the engine, my 356C is back on the road and I’m ironing out the inevitable bugs. It looks stunning and I’m like a toddler at Christmas every time I see it in the garage.

Attached picture of our 1955 Pre-A 1500 Reutter Cabrio taken in May or June 1955. The VIN is 60796. The car has been whole its life in Finland and the history is known. The car is fully matching numbers with original colour Azur Blue and grey leather interior. The car has been fully rebuild some years ago and it will now be fully re-restored and will be ready in end of 2023. We have quite a few original pictures of the car, which are extremely useful when we try to understand the correct details of the car as it has been delivered.

Great photos Jussi. Thanks for sharing. Would love to see more!

There's always the famous picture of one of Kirberg motors's famous client Janis Joplin at the Place of fine arts building in SAN Francisco. Alan The Stable. i also worked on Paul Kanter's 67 911 S That he removed all the "bling" from and painted the car flat black to keep it low key. Alan The Stable.
