356 Experience

[Olive]

A quick post to share my last week experience.
I made a one day jump to Paris and visited my brother and kids.

I took time to jump in his garage and test a great car : a 1956 Porsche 356 A roadster.:thumbs:
It is a fully restored car, in perfect condition, honestly I thought it could be less interesting to drive but ... it was really fun. Slow, of course, but that is not the important point. The environment is great. Honestly, it has been a huge experience.

Here are some pictures of the car and the garage :beer:

Nice one Olive, one of my all time favorites the 356 Speedster. A Porsche classic maybe slow, but so is posing/appreciation speed just ask 0 to 60 and his Dubai crew.:thumbs:

I think "performance" is not anymore the good word to speak about that car. But that a way of life (expensive one :hahaha:). Really great experience to drive.

Stunning. Thanks for the pics.

Looks like a mid 70's 911 2.2/2.3ltr in 'Gulf' Blue unfortunately not a Carrera - mega money! ;)

There was one left to rot for years in a San Fran car park I believe when it's owner got sent down. Covered in dust it was when it finally saw the light of day again, only to get blown up in the end while left on the street. Wouldn't happen these days with the cost of them ;)

The blue one is a 912 guys :smt055

loverly car , although as pointed out , its a roadster / convertable & not a speedster, speedster was more stripped down & with a much lower windshield

912 looks great too

Classic Porkas , I love them :)
