Hi Helen
My 1st 356 is a RHD 1958 356A reg 29 PMY silver with red interior, i understand the car is already known to some enthusists of old!!.The car has only had occasional use over the past 25 years so I am sending the car straight to Paul at PRS For him to check over and sort a few bits and bobs, I hope to have the car in the north east by end of march so won,t have the car in time for Bedale but would love to come along anyway

Thanks Jamie, Mark gave me some framed prints from the photoshoot they are absolutely top class, the way you captured the light on the car is just amazing i have not seen better pictures of a 356 in any of the mags or books
Will hopefully get to bedale on the 18th only about an hour and a bit from home, where exactly is near Bedale?

Haha - you got the ones off his office wall! I like that place - Mark is a good guy. I think you are going to love that car. I've shot a few now and it's the best by a million miles. I presume you got the 2-inch-thick history folder?

photos from Mark

Not the great big one from the upstairs office he was keen to keep that one!! yes he seems a "canny lad" as we say up here in fact all the lads in the showroom were a real pleasure to speak to, a refreshing change from my previous main dealer experiences!!!

exact location hasn't been determined yet but keep an eye on the thread in the events section of the forum and Hot66 (james) will post the information soon.
