Vehicle Description

To Be OFFERED AT AUCTION at RM Sothebys' Essen event, 11 - 12 April 2019. Estimate: €120.000 - €140.000 Recent restoration completed in 2018 U.S.-delivery example Porsche introduced the 356 A for the 1956 model year. The car featured minor changes to the original 356 design, the most notable of which was the single-piece, curved panoramic windscreen. The car's simple, lightweight design and excellent handling characteristics made it a favourite among motoring enthusiasts, a position it still enjoys today. The 356 A was produced through 1959, at which point it was succeeded by the 356 B. This stunning 1959 Porsche 356 A Coup�, amongst the final As produced, was delivered new to California. Though the earliest history is unknown, the ownership history since 1993 is fully documented. Beginning in 1992, when the car was first imported to Turin, it was owned by a Sr. Giuseppe Dalmas. In 2001, the car was then sold to Andrea Chiappa, who passed the car to the consignor in 2016. A full restoration was completed on the car at the end of 2018, and it is in exceptional condition throughout and fully ready for its new owner. Accompanying the car is the original California title, documentation confirming its importation to Italy, as well as correspondence from Porsche Italy which confirms the original equipment with which this 356 A left Zuffenhausen, namely U.S.-specification bumpers, sealed headlights and rear view mirror. It also confirms that the Silver Metallic paint applied at restoration is the original colour for the car. With its high level of restoration, documented history and superb presentation, this 356 A is an ideal addition to any collection of sports cars. • Restaurierung 2018 fertiggestellt • Erstauslieferung in die USA Porsche stellte im Modelljahr 1956 den Porsche 356 A vor. Neben einer Reihe kleiner �nderungen fiel vor allem die einteilige gebogene Windschutzscheibe auf. Die einfache und leichte Konstruktion des 356 und sein exzellentes Handling waren damals wie heute viel Lob von der Fachpresse wert. Der 356 A wurde bis zur Einf�hrung des 356 B 1959 angeboten. Dieses gro�artige Porsche 356 A Coup� von 1959 ist eines der letzten jemals gebauten A-Modelle; es wurde neu an seinen ersten Besitzer in Kalifornien ausgeliefert. �ber die fr�hen Jahre dieses kleinen Coup�s ist leider nicht bekannt, dahingegen ist die Geschichte ab 1993 vollst�ndig. 1992 verlie� der Wagen die USA und wurde nach Italien exportiert, wo als sein erster europ�ischer Besitzer ein Herr Giuseppe Dalmas eingetragen ist. 2001 verkaufte er ihn an Andrea Chiappa, der ihn wiederum 2016 an den heutigen Besitzer und Einlieferer weiterverkaufte. 2018 wurde eine Komplettrestaurierung des Fahrzeugs abgeschlossen; heute befindet es sich erwartungsgem�� in au�ergew�hnlich gutem Zustand und ist bereit f�r einen neuen Besitzer. Zu den Unterlagen des Fahrzeugs geh�ren der originale US-Title aus Kalifornien, Belege �ber seinen Import nach Italien sowie Korrespondenz mit Porsche Italien, aus der die Originalausstattung des 356 A beim Verlassen des Werks in Zuffenhausen ersichtlich ist. Allem voran die US-Ausf�hrung mit US-Sto�f�ngern, Sealed-Beam Scheinwerfern und einem R�ckspiegel. Best�tigt ist auch die Originalfarbe silber metallic, die der Wagen im Zuge der Restaurierung wieder erhalten hat. Mit seiner hochwertigen Restaurierung, der dokumentierten Historie und dem fantastischen Zustand w�re dieser 356 A eine wunderbare Erg�nzung jeder Sportwagensammlung.
