About This Car

This 1958 Porsche 356 A T2 Cabriolet has been fully restored, with a documented photo report showing a comprehensive, body-off approach in which the structure, panels and finish were rebuilt to the highest standard. It is presented in its original silver metallic finish — a colour that highlights the purity of the design and remains entirely in line with period-correct specifications.

As the desirable T2 version, this example benefits from a series of technical and structural refinements that improve both usability and driving experience compared to the earlier T1 models. While the underlying chassis remains the same, the weight distribution was optimised, resulting in a more balanced and stable feel on the road. Improved sealing and the introduction of quarter vent windows contribute to a noticeably higher level of comfort and overall refinement.

The 1958 production figures further underline its position within the range. Approximately 1,382 Cabriolets were built that year, compared to around 1,058 Speedsters — not something you run into every day.

What makes this car so enjoyable to drive is how effortlessly everything comes together. It is not about pushing or chasing performance, but about smooth, relaxed cruising and simply enjoying the moment. You sit low, the steering feels light in your hands, and the car does exactly what you ask without ever feeling demanding. The 1600cc air-cooled flat-four provides just the right amount of motivation — responsive, characterful, and entirely at home on an open road.
