1957 Porsche 356 1600 A-T1 Reutter Coupe - Lot 43
1957 Porsche 356 1600 A-T1 Reutter Coupe Serial number 101143 Engine number 66209 Desirable Mille Miglia-eligible 1600 cm3 version High-quality restoration Porsche certificate MATCHING COLORS AND NUMBERS The first Porsche, number 356-001 in 1948, had no roof, and was a two-seater roadster. Erwin Komenda's design changed very little throughout the 356's life, if not for all the brand's models up to the present day, since Porsche has always been faithful to it, just as he was during his career with Ferdinand. The 356 coupé and cabriolet were born of this initial design as early as 1949. The recipe was simple: a mass-produced Volkswagen base, a lightly tuned engine and a design sufficiently modified to confer sports car status. The 356s were produced at Reutter and Heuer before returning to the Zuffenhausen factory. By 1951, the little Porsche had already made its nest in the world of sports cars with a class victory at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, and the company finally had the resources to develop it further. A roadster was added to the catalog in 1952, followed by a speedster in 1954, while engines gained in power and versatility. In 1956 came the 356 A, subtly rejuvenating the design of the little Porsche, even welcoming a brand-new 1600 cm3 to its catalog, while the running gear was updated. This Porsche 356 A T-1 1600 cm3 was built in October 1957. It was ordered in IVORY (5704) with Sealed Beam Head lights and MpH speedometer. A few years ago, this car underwent a top-quality restoration, in which everything was redone to the original specifications. Since then, the car has been driven very little and is presented in concours condition. This is the most beautiful AT1 we have ever presented. What's more, the road test was perfect, with real performance and unusual acceleration! 1957 Porsche 356 1600 A-T1 Reutter Coupe Serial number 101143 Engine number 66209 Desirable Mille Miglia-eligible 1600 cm3 version High-quality restoration Porsche certificate MATCHING COLORS AND NUMBERS The first Porsche, the one numbered 356-001 in 1948, was a two-seater roadster without a roof.
