PORSCHE 356B
Premium Collector Provenance Dossier
Chassis Number: 109238
1. Factory Identity & Production Record
Model: Porsche 356B (T5) – 1960 Model Year
Chassis Number: 109238
Original Engine (per Kardex): 600551 – 1600 Normal
Current Engine: P811099 – Type 616/7 Super 90
Gearbox Number: 32638
Factory Completion: 13 October 1959
Final Inspection: 8 December 1959
Steering: Factory Right-Hand Drive
Supplying Dealer: Lindsay Saker Motors, Johannesburg, South Africa
The above specifications are confirmed by the original Porsche factory Kardex record, the primary production and warranty archive document maintained by Dr. Ing. h.c. F. Porsche AG.
2. Original Factory Specification
Exterior Colour: Rubinrot (Ruby Red)
Interior: Black Leatherette
Tyres: Michelin
Ignition / Key References Recorded on Kardex
All Porsche 356 models were fully manufactured and assembled in Stuttgart-Zuffenhausen, Germany. No overseas CKD or local assembly programs existed for the 356 series. This vehicle was exported complete to South Africa.
3. Restoration & Current Presentation
The vehicle has undergone a comprehensive restoration completed to an exceptional standard. The restoration reflects meticulous attention to structural integrity, finish quality, and period-correct detailing.
The car is currently presented in White with a Red interior. While differing from its original Rubinrot/Black specification, this colour combination is period-correct and consistent with authentic Porsche finishes available during the late 1950s and early 1960s.
The restoration maintains historical integrity while presenting the vehicle in a highly desirable and visually striking configuration.
4. Collector Significance & Market Positioning
Chassis 109238 represents an early production example of the 356B T5 series. Right-hand drive vehicles were produced in limited numbers, with South African deliveries representing a small fraction of total production.
The presence of the original Kardex substantially strengthens provenance and authenticity. Although no longer matching-numbers due to the installation of a factory Super 90 engine, the vehicle retains period-correct mechanical specification.
In collector markets, examples with documented factory provenance and high-level restoration standards remain highly regarded, particularly when supported by primary archival documentation.
Prepared as a formal provenance dossier for collector reference.
