I'd rather have this 356A they're selling:

That’s a good price and an interesting car. A rolling restoration for someone.

I don't know much about 356's but just been reading Wikipedia. It says the only difference between the 356B (T6) and 356C is the disc brakes.
I imagine the disc brakes are easy to retrofit if you have a T6?
What kind of original green colour was the car?

The T6 has the same hood as the 356C if I'm not mistaken. I think you're confusing it with the T5 which has a rounded hood.hot66 wrote:Difference to the body too … look at the shape of the front hood

The main change from 356B T6 --> 356C was replacement of the finned drum brakes to discs & calipers - which also meant a change from the 'wide 5' style wheels to the 5 x 130 wheel pcd (so different wheels & hubcaps).
There were also a few minor changes to the dashboard.

Super 90 engine had a larger inlet valve that made it less torquey than the SC which used same sized inlet as the 75 bhp engine, but higher compression so more mid and top. 912 engine had a lower compression, presumably because it was heavier.

If I was in the market for a 356, I'd probably look for a T5 for the rounded hood and raised headlights.
