About this car

The 356 B Carrera 2 2000 GS is the fastest and rarest road-going 356 of its era, powered by the four-cam, 2.0-litre flat-four. Only 310 were built, and this coupe was first registered in Germany in February 1963 through Porsche Centre Fulda.

It was delivered in Ivory over red leather, with headrests and a Blaupunkt Berlin radio, all confirmed by its Porsche Kardex, and it still wears that original combination. Danish Carrera specialist Peter Iversen carried out a rotisserie restoration between 2015 and 2018. The work included speedster bucket seats, improved Weber carburettors, a Webasto heater and a replacement, correct-type 587/1 engine.

Servicing has been shared between Iversen and Porsche Classic Centre Kassel, which carried out the latest service at 14,451 km. The odometer now reads 16,282 km (about 10,100 miles). The car comes with its history file, restoration file, Kardex, tool kit and spare wheel. It is located and registered in Germany, and the asking price is shown in euros.
