Early Gmund-bodied pre-As had quarters but this looks like a '55-on A roof section...

At last you're starting to put on your anoraks.

Already ruled out fiberglass so not Rochdale.

Not Ferrari.

Keep searching.

I've just realized that half of one of my clients bills today was spent surfing google for bloody clues!!!

Any more pics? Rear lights, rims, grille perhaps? Does it even have a wide 5 chassis or is it purely the door tops up that's 356?

This is very frustrating.

Is it,

Is it..... very early 911/901..... 356 body but 911 chassis number.... 13322, maybe 13323 ? When they were trying things out in 1963 ?

Just to make it more frustrating, I'm away till Sunday so while i'm gone here is a little more:

It has 8 cylinders

It has a boot at the back

It has a radiator at the front

It was 12v from new (I know this 'cos I've made and fitted a new loom to it)

Happy hunting

No idea what it is but I would say the door windows are longer than a 356A, the steering wheel is much further back and you can see the instruments on the dash are angled forward and centrally placed.

If it is Porsche based how about a 928 special ???? V8 & watercooled.

Any clues i have given were not intended to mislead. I said authentic and original, it was built for sale to the public in period using 'state of the art' design & components throughout . It is well documented so keep searching..... if someone hasn't got it by Sunday I'll be amazed and will give more.

Have fun
