Ian,
I think far more than you may imagine
I cannot speak for the total but as for RHD
9 x Coupes
3 x Cabs
0 x Karman Hardtops
1 x Speedster

None of these came to the UK so I assume that your friends 356 is LHD ?

1st a Correction there were 11 - Coupes (not 9)

Orange with Beige Trim - 511A
Orange with Black Trim - 511B

This is a 57 through 59 Colour so all the Bodies were T2
If your friend has a T6 then it was a special Order

Is it LHD - ?

Hi Mike, yes it's a LHD 1964 356C car.
strangely ordered with SC engine and badges delete, including welding up the holes in rear clip and front bonnet. how unusual is that?

See you at the Classics at the Clubhouse.
