Original Porshe 356 The Restorer's Guide

For Porsche purists, the 356 is the classic model from this distiguished marque. With its Volkswagen-derived layout of an air-cooled engine mounted at the rear, the 356 began a remarkable bloodline that survives today in the form of the 911. Besides its historical significance, the 356 is a car with distinctive styling, first-class engineering, functional design, and tremendous driver appeal. In Original Porsche 356, author Laurence Meredith draws on factory records and technical information to detail the precise evolution of the 356. From mechanical specifications and production numbers, to the exact engine number sequences, body colors, and accessories, Original Prosche 356 is the perfect book for the collector and restorer looking to bring a 356 back to factory-original condition. Over 200 color photographs by Rowan Isaac highlight each area of the car in precise detail, making this an enjoyable book for the casual Porsche fan as well.
