Description
Border Reivers are delighted to offer this amazingly prepared right hand drive Porsche 356A from 1956.
People usually say (tongue in cheek) it was a no expense restoration, well this was & we have the paperwork to back it up. Restored by Porsche specialist Gant speed, we have a letter in the file from Gant Speed saying the cost of the restoration was in excess of £100k (more like £150k) and they, have done an insurance valuation for circa £42, 500. 00.
Money continued to be poured into this car as it was prepared for the Liege-Rome-Leige (twice), Monte Carlo (three times), The Italian Job, London – Lisboa, 356 meeting in Holland 2001, Rallye des Alpes, Marathon Rally, The winter Rally, etc.
2012 Maxted -Page & Prill issued a £7231. 22 invoice

06-10-2013 The car changes hands to the current owner and the expense continues as he basically rebuilds the car at a cost of £45k
2020 Border Reivers sell the car to a very good client & are asked to prepare it for the Monte Carlo Rally 2021 however it was cancelled due to Covid however during the down time we rebuilt the engine (128 BHP) & did some modifications to the car like the fuel filter through the bonnet, fitted safer & more comfortable seats, re-did a lot of the wiring & a host of other jobs to make it safer & reliable including the fitting of front & rear bumpers.
2022 Border Reivers are asked to drive the car on the Monte Carlo Rally.
Now turn key, this little Porsche is ready to take on the rally world once more. Offered in its original colour of Aquamarine, the car comes with its original buff & green, old style log books & FIA rally papers. The car still has its original registration number VKA 527.
