Looking for AFN Ledger Info for 1955 Pre-A Coupe Chassis 54142
Posted: Tue Jun 09, 2026 12:53 pm
Hi everyone,
I am writing from Germany and I am currently researching the history of my right-hand-drive 1955 Porsche 356 Pre-A 1500 Coupe, chassis number 54142.
According to the Kardex, the car was delivered by AFN on September 13th, 1955, to a Mr. Wemyss.
It was a very unique special order, finished in a colourmix of Tudor Grey and Shell Grey with a Wine Red genuine leather interior.
I do know that my car later carried the registration 503 MMU.
I am a bit stuck at the moment. Does anyone here have access to the AFN records for September 1955, or perhaps a direct contact who could help me get a copy or transcript of the ledger line for chassis 54142? I am more than happy to pay the standard research fees, of course.Any help or lead from the UK community would be highly appreciated!
Best regards,
Volker Heß
