When this Porsche 356B rolled off the line in 1963, the German automaker assigned this as its Werkseigenerwagen. That mouthful of a name means Porsche used it as its factory demonstrator and press car, and with good reason.
This 356B came loaded with options: Eberspacher gas-electric auxiliary heater, three-point seatbelts for driver and front-seat passenger, an exterior thermometer, and a clock mounted to the glove-box door. Plus, it was just one of 27 Carrera 2s to receive a sunroof.
U.K. Porsche specialist Roger Bray acquired the car in 1998, and then a detailed restoration ensued. The body was stripped to its bare metal, repaired and repainted in its original Light Ivory paint. Bray retained as much of the factory-installed parts as possible, including the trim and interior. All that work earned it a place in Classic Porsche magazine in 2013.
Find this 1963 Porsche 356B Carrera 2 Sunroof Coupe for auction at Bonhams | Cars, with an estimated value of $480,000-$580,000.
