Great to see another RHD 59 A has survived!
You don't happen to have the chassis number of your car. Am trying to put a list of the 356s which have survived. Would be great to see some pictures of the actual car.
And welcome to the forum. :)

I'll have to dig out the chassis number. It's here somewhere :oops:

Anyway ..
Here is a little montage of my 356 the day after I bought it. It doesn't look like this now (no flared rear arches or banded wheeels and a lot les paint) I can't say it's much better but it's not the same ;)
Just some quick info: I bought it from Burton on Trent from a family who I think raced 911 and maybe had a burger van at various race meetings (sounds odd but I think that's right. I bought it for £2000 (from a classified in Classic Car mag) in 1996 or there abouts.
Before this is was driven in Coventry.

This was my first car. I see Mr K Seume is here somewhere so hats off to you 8)

Cheers for that.
Love the cars you've had, especially the panel van. Have always wanted one of those for work.

Hi there. I got rid of some of the stuff in my garage and managed to take a photo to back up my tall tail of 356 ownership. :)

Here's my (rather sad looking) pride and, at times, joy :wink: (well the front of it anyway. I'm sure the back half was behind it last time I uncovered the whole thing, but you ever know 8) )

That's quite a coincidence though. :)
Still can't find the chassis number paper work. Looks like I'll have to dig the car out and take a look (which isn't the easiest of tasks.)

I'll be back again (again :roll: ) :)

Looks to me like you could open the bonnet and see the chassis number easily enough. :wink:
That is unless you've buried it again!
