Questions and Comments
Bezüglich der übereinstimmenden Nummern von Fahrzeug und Motor habe ich eine Frage. Warum ist beim Kickdown Check unter Matching Numbers ein Haken? Soweit ich erkennen kann ist das Fahrzeug ein 1500 S aus dem Jahr 1953. Der Motor jedoch, soweit die Angabe der Motornummer (32722) auf Bild 4347 aktuell ist, aus dem Jahr 1954. Das wäre dann ein 1500 Motor Typ 546. Laut Auslieferungsbescheinigung sollte jedoch ein 1500S Motor Typ 528 aus dem Jahr 1953 verbaut sein. Der Nummernbereich wäre dann 40118-40685.
Technik: Der Porsche 356 ist das erste Serienmodell von Porsche. Die Typbezeichnung 356 für den Sportwagen ist die laufende Nummer dieser Porsche-Konstruktion; die Zählung der Porsche-Entwicklungen begann jedoch mit der Nr. 7, vermutlich, um bei Auftraggebern ein größeres Vertrauen in das junge Unternehmen zu erzeugen. Der Motor hat die Konstruktionsnummer 369. Als „Geburtstag“ des Porsche 356 gilt der 7. Juli 1948, an dem der erste Testbericht über ein Porsche-Coupé erschien. Im April 1965 endete die Produktion der Baureihe 356; 76.302 Wagen wurden gebaut. Mich persönlich fasziniert an dieser Auktion, dass immer wieder Fahrzeuge (echte Raritäten) die älter sind wie ich und in einem Neuwagenzustand "wie aus dem Ei gepellt" hier aufschlagen!! LG Tom
Wo wurde das Auto restauriert?
Hallo, es gibt eine umfangreiche Fotodoku, aber leider kann ich nicht sagen wo der Porsche restauriert wurde. Ich hatte das Fahrzeug schon restauriert gekauft.
