Hooray for Road & Track's Tony
Hogg! I recommend that you read his
article, "Cars a s Investments", June
1980 R&T.The essence of his article is
that the investors in special interest
automobiles should be very careful in
the near future because the bubble is
about the burst. His argument is that
the number of car enthusiasts increases very gradually and that just
because there is a great demand for
enthusiast cars doesn't mean that they
are being bought by enthusiasts. He
thinks that they are in fact being
bought by speculators who are confident that the price will continue to
rise. A s soon a s a few start to lose confidence in these artificial values then
the collapse begins. Eventually, the
speculator takes a bath and the true
enthusiast gets his hobby back.
Unfortunatelv, a s much a s I want

For the "can-you-believe-this department?" from David Seeland came
a copy of a n advertisement f o r . . . "an
accurate reproduction of the well
known and desirable Porsche 356 C
Coupe. . . being built by skilled craftsmen of ENVEMO, a Brazilian Automotive Engineering Company. . . . The
car has very good performance, the
road holding and handling being of
modern standards. Chassis: Reinforced VW platform. Engine: VW
1600cc. 2 carb;rettors-65 HP SAE at
4600 rpm. Brakes: Front disc, rear
drum . . . Body: Reinforced fiberglass.
Weight: 830 kg."
Incidentally, the car is advertised a s
a Super 90! David: "Imitation is the
sincerest form of flattery? Apparently
the car even had VDO instrumentation! Real ones are still cheaper. The
price is supposed to be "about the
same a s a n Intermeccanica speedster

be F.O.B.Brazil."

"The following came to my attention
a few days ago in reading the reference
book.Thought it interesting a s to the
best of my knowledge there have been
no such reference in any Porsche literature."
John Moyer, Michigan City, IN
(NOTE: Reference "The Arms of
Krupp", by William Manchester,
pages 419-420)
"Muller (German engineer-designer) w a s ardently supported by a
two-man brain trust, Dr. Ferdinand
Porsche and his thirty-four year old
s o n F e r r y . Both w e r e r e c e n t
additions to the Krupp payroll and
s t a r attractions. Twenty years earlier the father had achieved an international reputation a s the inventor
of Mercedes S and S S sports cars,
and when the Fuhrer had ordered
him to make an unbeatable Grand
Prix car he had responded with the
six-liter Auto-Union, which is still
the fastest car ever built; three
drives were necessary and even so
there were fatalities. Hitler, delighted, sent Ferdinand and Ferry to
Gusstahlfabrik. It w a s madness.
They belonged in a toy shop, not a
weapons forge. Nevertheless they
enjoyed immense, if brief, vogue in
Essen, thanks largely to Erich
Muller. In the West German Who's
Who today Ferry notes that he "developed the Volkswagen and other
products". He is too modest. The t w o
Porsches spawned variegated subcultures of forty-five-ton Panthers;
of useless, unlandworthy Leopards,
for light reconnaissance, which consumed hundreds of thousands of
factory man-hours in 1942; and
Tigers, which did work, a s by the
l a w of averages they should have.
Porsche "other products" included a
preposterous supertank weighing
180 tons (three times the Tigerpanz-
e r ) a n d a "land monitor" which
mercifully never s a w combat, of a
thousand tons. The Fuhrer approved. Krupp was elated. but
Muller should have been called
Meier."
(NOTE: the last reference to Meier, is
to the statement by Goring in the first
days of the w a r when he is said to have
said "if any bombs are ever dropped in
Berlin, you can call me Meier).
"I would advise a n y 356 pusher that

PRONTO. That s t u f f will do a Mexican rebore (in Mexico, no doubt, it's a
"Gringo rebore") on his cylinders in no
time flat. S t a y a w a y from it!"

"In the AprilIMay issue you printed
a letter from a Mr. Pat Ertel wherein he
takes note of the "blatant price goug-
ing" and "huge difference in price" of
356 front brake cylinders.
It is true that during 1979 our Performance Products catalog # I 1 listed
the front brake cylinders for $79.50
each. Our only .excuse for this "absured" price is a sloppy typesetter and
our own poor proof-reading. Our catalog # I 0 listed the item at $47.50 and in
our new catalog #12 the same part is
now correctly listed at $49.50.
I am personally sorry if our typo in
catalog #11 in any way caused Mr.
Ertel to be frustrated.

Some reflections on your fourth paragraph in FebruaryIMarch issues editorial-I, too, started with a "junker"
when in school, but the cars aren't getting better, fewer are available in
"good, reasonable" shape and inflation
is driving up the cost of bringing the
"worser" ones back to anything like
they should be. The effect is locking
some aspiring 356 ownerslrestorers
out, but really, the "well-to-do old
codgers" are people who had 'em and
kept 'em, or applied themselves to
money making pursuits and can now
afford what it takes to do one a s they
wanted it "back-when". That's it-and
10 years slide by and 356's don't get
any less rustier! My diesel Rabbit cost
$8,500 and a bumper for my Chevy van
costs over $100.00, s o everything is
strangely relative, isn't it?
Anyway, I'm sending some shots of
my "turn-over devise" along for follow-up to Dave Seeland's informational column. I am recommending that attaching to the suspension is preferable
to bumper brackets,and always check
the door fit and the "X" measurements
underneath if doing repair work."

Vic Skirmants, editor
I often have 356 drivers complain to
me about their gears "crunching"
when they shift. If nothing is wrong
with the clutch or its adjustment, the
synchronizers are usually to blame.
T h e first 356's used a stock VW "crashbox" transmission. There were no
synchronizers, and one had to be good
at double-clutching to drive these
early cars.
In- late 1952, Porsche came out with
their own gears and synchronizers,
still installed in a VW housing. These
early Porsche transmissions were
highly praised by the road testers and
magazine writers of the period. Compared to most other cars of the era,
these transmissions were excellent,
especially when the synchronizers
were new. A s anyone who owns a 519644 style trans can attest, however,
these gearboxes aren't that great after
any kind of mileage has been placed on
them.
In 1959 Porsche introduced the 716
synchronizers, which, with slight
modifications became the 741. These
synchros were really excellent, and almost crunchproof. After many hard
miles, however, even these synchros
will wear out, but usually only the
first a n d second gear synchros are bad
enough to worry about replacing; this
is because these are the t w o most-used
gears.
There is a problem with a 716-741
first gear that is not widely known.
Even with a fairly new synchro on
first gear, let alone a well worn one,
you will get a crunch when pushing in
the clutch and shifting into first with
the car standing still. This is a common complaint. Well, there's not much
you can do about it. First gear synchro
is not designed for an upshift, which is
what you are doing when engaging
first from neutral, while standing still.
It is designed for a downshift, and if
you're not getting a crunch that way, I
wouldn't worry about the synchro. To
avoid the crunch, you can push in the
clutch, wait a full second or two, then
put it in gear. This allows all the gears
time to stop spinning. This same
problem occurs with reverse, which of
course is not synchronized at all. The
solution is the same; wait one to two
seconds before putting it in gear. If it
still crunches, your clutch isn't releasing completely. If you're in a hurry and
don't feel like waiting two seconds,
push in the clutch, touch second gear,
then put it in first or reverse. Touching second (or third or fourth if you
feel like it) lets that gear's synchro slow
down the gears, which have been
spinning off the input shaft while the
trans w a s in neutral and the clutch
w a s out. You will notice this more on a
w a r m trans when the fluid has thinned
out, than on a cold one. Of course you
can sit at a stop light with the clutch
in, but I wouldn't recommend it. The
throw-out bearing wears the pressure
plate enough as it is.
While on transmissions, a couple of
comments on rebuilding same. When
installing second, third, or fourth
gears on the input shaft, the manual
tells you to heat them in oil. This is
good advice, because you won't overheat the gear that way; there's only so
much oil smoke one can stand. I have
seen gears that someone evidently
heated with a torch to install (or remove). The gears are hardened steel.
Heating them too much, and then letting them cool slowly, will anneal
them, and literally make them soft.
They will not last very long after that.
On any of the tunnel case transmissions, after the shift rails have been installed in the intermediate plate, the
shift forks have to be adjusted before
they are tightened down. To help in
lining things up, put a front suspension link pin through the reverse gear
idler and into the intermediate plate.
This is a perfect substitute diameterwise for the reverse gear shaft that is
part of the trans nose. This will hold
your reverse gear and shift rail in
alignment while you adjust the other
two rails.

Old business: Questionnaires still pretty sparse, pre1956. Later years I've got a nice cross section.
Remember when I said that all Cabiiolet rear lids interchange? Well, they don't. At least three older t h a n ' s 3 probably don't. My thoroughly nasty '51 Heuer built Cabriolet
has a lid which is considerably larger than those found on
later cars. I suppose that will teach you to believe what you
read.
I w a s sent a picture of a bracket on the left firewall of a
'56 Coupe. What's it for?
Jack Halter of Lexington, Kentucky sent something of
interest. His A Coupe #55022 appears to be the first ever
1600 engined car. It still contains engine P-60001.
Yet another anti-rust product appeared in the mail. This
one is made by Novenox International and is called: STOP
A Must For Rust. If nothing else it has the longest name I've
seen. It seems to be quite expensive, with a 55 gallon drum
at $2530.00. Smaller units are available a s low a s $6.00 or
so. Has anyone tried this?
Jim Kymer sent a picture of a very interesting riveted
construction engine fan shroud. Has anyone see one of
these before?
I've had a couple of possible paint matches. Greg Lane of
Indy came up with Tempo Van and Truck #T-1401 69-73
Chrysler Truck DT 1263. H-Filter from Dave Willard. GM
Touch Up #2457 Dupont Tempo. Both of these came in
spray cans. Ed Statkus of Chicago has corresponded concerning another company which custom matches paint Hibernia Auto Restorations, Inc., Maple Terrace, Hibernia

I guess I've put it off a s long a s I can. I'm sure you
INDEX
realized that by doing the body and chassis first I w a s
avoiding controversy. The next sections, Exterior trim and
Interior are in many instances quite perplexing.
In light of comments I've heard from a number of people,
I feel it is important to re-examine the goals of this endeavor. The main idea behind this is to allow a 356 ownerlrestorer to choose the most appropriate way to restore a vehicle which has been modified by previous owners. For
example determining the correct lights or hood handle to
put on a car with none present.
The "every car w a s different" excuse seems to come up
often. I don't deny that a number of oddballs show up from
time to time, but the vast majority of cars are fitted out in
the appropriate manner. This is especially true with later
cars.
I welcome conflicting stories and controversy because
a s stated initially there are enough members in this club
that every one knows something and no one knows everything. Being one of the later, I will continue to plod along a s
best a s I can until interrupted by someone who knows
better.
In the trim sections, it is vital to assume that any chassis
numbers given are only guidelines and certainly there are
exceptions to a n y rule.
But enough of this nonsense. I sought to enlist help from
those who should know everything. Apparently I asked for
too much, since 6 months have passed without reply. Without further delay I will now plunge head long into trim.
BUMPERS
I w a s already to start by saying the early attached type
bumpers seen in 1950-51 came with 3 types of trim strip.
These being flat style aluminum, small grooved aluminum,
and 356A style rubber and aluminum. Then Jim Kymer
sent me photos of another type having a very wide rubber
strip.
The Gospel according to the parts books goes something
like this. The 53 book gives three choices 1) Plain smooth
356.58.305, 356.58.306 2) Strip with slot, 356.58.305,
356.58.306 (Hmm) 3 ) Mod. 52 with rubber insert 356.58.
037, 356.58.038. The final one being the strips which fit the
interim style bumpers.
The 55 book seeks to confuse further, it states 644.505.
041.10 fits front and rear, all Coupes 5001-11130 and all
Cabs 5015-10200. The description is decorative strip with
channel. Next it assigns Coupe 11131-11300 and Cab
10201-10250 a different one 644.505.041.10. The final
variety 644.505.041.00 front, 644.505.043.00 rear. The
356A style said to fit Coupes 11779-on and Cab 15051-on.
There are a few notable problems encountered by using
this information. Firstly, I'm sure the more astute noted the
same part number on the first t w o in the 53 book. Then
Coupes 11301-11778 and Cabs 10251-15050 don't seem to
have anything at all! Well that's only half right, the '55
book concedes that they have 356.58.038 on the back
bumper.
Skimming the given information for something
resembling a chronological history, it would appear that
from 5001- Coupe 11130 and Cab 10200 all cars came with
grooved bumper trim. At this point and until Coupe 11300
and Cab 10250 they came with flat trim. Commencing here
the bumpers changed and then first went to 356A style
trim at Coupe 11779 and Cab 15051 the A style bumpers
appear and through '59 there were no changes.

(Photo Brian Smith)
The above paragraph, of course, bears little resemblance
to actual fact.
The earliest car I have information on the illustration of
a 50 Coupe sent to me by Bill Rauskolb, no chassis number
is supplied but due to a number of details it's obviously one
of the first few, it has the grooved bumper trim. Bob
Hellers 5014 is most likely modified. Next up is 5226 the
black Coupe at Harrah's it has flat trim. All of the other
four digit chassis number cars that I know of have no
bumpers. My '51, 5430, has A style trim, however it shows
sign of being updated by the factory circa 1953.
Of the five digit numbers I have John Klockau's 10158
has flat trim and from the four pictures supplied by Lasse
Knoppel number's 11321, 11322 and 11340 have flat trim
while 11415 has 356A style.
Jim Kymer's unfortunately doesn't fit. T h e bumper trim
doesn't resemble any of the other types, in fact it is quite
similar to VW bus bumper trim. I would be interested in
any comments concerning this any readers might have it
seems to be the same a s Frank Barrett's 11567 which has
interim bumpers.
The A style bumpers which we assume start at chassis
11779 and 15051 feature the familiar rubber and aluminum
trim up through the 59 models. Exceptions to this are
present. On Carrera GT's, the flat aluminum trim a s used
on early incorporated bumper cars w a s utilized. It is likely
that this may have occasionally appeared on a non-GT.
The 3568 and 356C shared a trim strip similar to the
356A but slightly narrower. Again GT's had the flat aluminum moulding.
Bumper guards are the next area of controversy. We all
know that incorporated bumper cars don't have bumper
guards. This seems to be true for most European cars. The
test car in the July '52 Mechanix illustrated and the gaps in
Jim Kymer's bumpers show that some cars had them.
Bumper guards for interim bumpers are shown in illustration 23 of the 53 parts book. They are described a s
being chrome plated.
T h e '55 book describes the low polished aluminum guard
644.505.031.00 and 644.505.032.00, these are interchangeable front to rear. They were first used according to the
parts book at Coupe 52 030 and Cab. 60550. Earlier cars
used chrome plated versions.
For European 356A1sthe polished aluminum variety w a s
used with the same part number. The factory notes "maximum width 64mm from 356A".
T w o other type guards become available on the 1958
model 644.505.031.01 and 644.505.031.02 it is noted that
they are made from different materials with the ".02"
having the part number cast into the bumperette. It is
stated that these are "interchangeable in pairs". From information I have picked up over the years, I would assume
that the 01 is an anodized cast aluminum alloy while the02
is chromed cast aluminum, these are both low style
bumperettes which are not used in conjunction with overrider tubes.
At Coupe 101 693, Cab 150 001 Speedster 83 792 (T-2
Change) rear bumperettes became 'different from front
bumperettes due to the "exhaust through the bumperette"
styling change. There w a s only one style of these
644.505.033.00, the heavier chrome plated cast aluminum
version Carreras continued to use front bumperettes in the
rear a s the exhaust continued to exit below the bumper.
A cast aluminum funnel 644.505.305.00 w a s press fit
into the rear guards to direct the exhaust through the opening provided.
U.S. bumpers are easily distinguished from non-U.S. by
the chrome plated steel overrider tubes. A s far a s I know
these were installed on all non-Carrera vehicles from 19561959, illustration 44 of the 356A book shows the general
arrangement.
On the front bumper the height of the overrider tube was
changed in Jan./Feb. of 1959 going from a lower tube to a
higher one. At this point the Carrera were also fitted with
this type bumper according to the 'A' parts book.
Up to this change bumper guards were changeable front
to rear. The only change in guard w a s the raising of the
notch and stud to accommodate the higher overrider tube.
In the rear initially a single tube spanned the rear
bumper, it is illustrated in the parts book but says to replace it with the split rear tubes. When exactly the original
change appeared is not certain although it w a s approximately the same time which the tail and license light configuration w a s altered which w a s at Coupe 100 000 1,Cab.
61 700, Speedster 83 200.
At the T2 body a rear bumperette change occured similar
INDEX
to the one described for the European configuration. It is
interesting that the parts book notes that this exhaust
through the bumperette w a s for 1600 and 1600s engines,
implying that those with smaller engines had exhaust
under the bumpers like earlier Cabs and Carreras.
Peculiar to U.S. cars are the 4 holes in the body from
which the bumper support tubes emerge. These were
added to partially aid in support of the heavy U.S. trimmed
bumper. The tubes were mild steel and always painted
silver. The length w a s changed on the front bumper support tube when the height of the overrider tube w a s
changed. A rubber grommet is inserted in the body where
the tube goes through.
In 1960 the bumper change meant new bumper guards,
these were t w o piece guards made from pot metal which
w a s chrome plated. Like late 356A's the exhaust terminated through the lower half of the rear guard, it w a s
funneled by a sheet metal funnel which bolted in place.
Due to the location of the funnel carbonization and discoloration of the bumper guard often occured s o after
market companies developed exhaust extensions. To my
knowledge these were not available from Porsche, if they
were I would be interested to know what the part number
was.
G S Carreras featured front guards in the rear because
the exhaust once again terminated under the bumper.
Aluminum guards were made apparently for such cars but
occasionally turn up randomly on other models. G T
Carrera's from what I can tell came with no guards at all.
On the rear bumpers of all post '59 cars twin hella license
lights are present. These were never modified.
One final piece of bumper moulding found on early cars
with attached bumpers. It is a half round aluminum
moulding found above both front and rear bumpers. There
is no counterpart on later cars.
Next time lights and front trim.

changing the oil, for Pete's sake.
How does a rational person deal
with such a situation? He reminds
himself that the car is only responding
to one of the basic laws of nature. The
'Law of Inverse Proportions' states
that the "Availability of any part or
tool is inversely proportional to the
need for that specific part or tool."
That explains it all. There is no reason
to be upset, all is in order.
How did I deal with such a situation? I threw some wrenches at the cat
and started a fight with the old lady.
Felt lots better.

Dick Pike
With some reservations, I thought it quite the prettiest 1956 Speedster ever.
It w a s all there, perfectly straight, and blood-red. Lucky owner: he had gotten
a second chance. The man had bought one new, sold it, and now just had to
have another. He had only recently completed the rebuild, and yet here it w a s at
a California s w a p meet, already on the block. Why not hang on to that gem this
time around? It wasn't the money, but something far less easily grasped. Did
the owner find that he simply could not go back again, even in s o potent a time
capsule? The thought h a s been disquieting. How will I feel once my Speedster
is together? Will the magic disintegrate and the spell lift? No idle musing, this.
I have a proven inability to judge what to keep and what to throw away. The
problem may well be that the satisfaction of the kills fails to measure up to the
joys of the hunt. Getting there may be (1)all, (2) most, (3) much, ( 4 ) some,
(5) little, (6) none of the fun, but I don't know which box to check. Indeed, do you?

It is possible to short-circuit the
system, of course, by reprinting old
baseball cards and by manufacturing
NLA parts for the 356, but for real
sports this expedient is blatant cheating, and only The Real Stuff will do.
Besides, you can tell the difference.
Those reprints just don't have that
same color balance, patina, or (most
important of all) the smell of the originals. The cottage industry that has
spring up to fill the NLA parts vacuum
really has its work cut out for it. I wish
these guys luck in their pursuit of
authenticity, particularly because my
own set is not yet complete, and I need
them.
The danger will come when the set
is complete. I'm terrified to find out
whether or not just driving the Speedster will be enough. Surely something
will be missing: that yen to collect 'em
all; the drive that sustained me
throughout the whole endeavor. When
there's nothing left to hunt down, not
even a break-in decal for the windshield, will the thrill of the chase be
gone - never to be supplanted in equal
measure by the joys of ownership?
What do you do once the whole set is
there? It's no small trick to stuff a rebuilt 356 into a shoebox and stash it
up under the eaves in Mom's attic for
safe keeping while you pursue other
interests, like another restoration
(Aw, why not a four-cammer next
time?). But if you do, make certain you
really sock it away. Throw out the key
and then lose the map showing where
it's buried. Otherwise, there's always
the possibility that some morning
you'll hit the deck, that Out-With-ThePast feeling ringing between your
ears. Never mind what drove you to
it: garage space, divorce settlement,
or a bad bath from your latest stockmarket venture. A quick ad in the local
fish-wrap and you've gotten rid of it,
forever. Not then, but some time thereafter, you'll remember your rash act
and repent: "Oh yeah, sure, I had one
of those once, but in the classic
blunder of my life . . ."

four-cam forum
carrera gt coupe minutiae
A few years ago I had a pushrod
Speedster that I got in trade for a '59 A
coupe. The coupe had been totalled
because a carburetor had burned. I
fixed that, replaced the cooked generator, and painted it with black lacquer.
You could read a book in the reflections from the side. Of course, there
was that thin spot on the roof, but it
wasn't very noticeable. Coupes need a
minimum of six quarts of lacquer
which I had, but I had run out of thinner. Anyway, I traded the very impressive looking coupe for a rustless
disc-braked Speedster with cracking
red over white paint.
While working on the pushrod coupe
I'd been trying to buy a 1960 Carrera
GT coupe, but the owner wasn't really
sure he wanted to sell it. He bought it
from Edgar Barth in 1962 or 1963 while
stationed in Germany and had been
driving it regularly since. He put over
50,000 miles on it with no trouble except that the limited slip differential
broke.
I mentioned one day that I had a
Speedster to trade. That interested
him because he was moving to California and he didn't trust the Carrera
on that long a drive and thought a
Speedster would be nice in California.
I told him that I was going to paint
the Speedster, and that he should come
look at it in a week (he was leaving for
California the day after that). Was that
ever a busy week! I took the week off
and worked about 20 hours a day on
the Speedster. I took it down to bare
metal with a grinder (which I won't do
again), did some body work, and
painted it. I finished putting on the last
coat of lacquer at 3:00 A.M. on a rainy
night and buffed the car at 3:00 P.M.
the next afternoon. He came to look at
it about 5:00 P.M. and decided that he
didn't want to trade and would I lend
him my tow-bar to tow the GT to San
Diego behind the U-Haul. Sigh! If anyone with a Carrera GT wants to borrow it I now have a very experienced
tow bar. It has about 2000 miles of
GT towing experience: Boise to
Denver on a GT Speedster and Denver
to San Diego on the ex-Barth GT
coupe. I found out last fall that the GT
is possibly for sale, but maybe the
owner is moving again and just needs
to borrow a tow-bar.
That's not the end of the story because I finally traded the Speedster
for an even rarer car, but I'd best save
that tale for another day. In this issue

David Seeland, Editor
Sports & Racing Cars" states, "The
proper competition Carrera came in
the models' second year when Porsche
divided this 1500GS line into Deluxe
and GT." This suggests 1957, although
not without some question because 3
Carreras were made in 1955. The
Carrera GT coupes that I know of are
like G T Speedsters in that they are
usually designated 1500 GS or 2000
GS on the identification plate, not GT
or GS-GT. They must therefore be
identified on the basis of body, trim,
and other details.
It is probably that the change from
steel doors and lids to aluminum doors
and lids in GT coupes occurred in mid1958 about the time that GT Speedsters changed from steel to aluminum
doors and lids (see REGISTRY vol. 5,
no. 2, p. 11).As with Speedsters the
early steel-door GT coupe should have
110 DIN horsepower because of the
sport exhaust system, but in most
cases the original exhaust system,
if not the entire engine, is long gone.
The 1959 aluminum door and lid GT
coupe pictured in the AprilIMay 1980
four-cam forum has rolled body edges
(as on the wheel openings) on the lower edges of the body front and rear and
no exhaust cutouts. The rolled edges
are found on at least some of the
aluminum door 356 A Carrera GT

Carrera GT coupes were somewhat
neglected by the motoring press when
they were in production and later by
Porsche collectors and restorers. Some
of this may be a particularly American
bias. In the U.S. in the 50's and 60's
"sports cars" and "open cars" were
synonymous. Bruce Jennings and his
Carrera GT Speedsters influenced
many peoples perceptions of Porsches.
Parenthetically, it is surprising that
Porsche was accepted a s a sports car
a s they were generally coupes. Races
in the U.S. were shorter and on closed
courses which made open cars advan- 1963 Carrera 2000 GT.Deeply dished wheel

or cross country races and rallies such
a s the Mille Miglia, Liege-Rome-Liege,
and LeMans made closed cars almost a
necessity. Carrera GT coupes were
ideally suited for this kind of race.
The first "Carrera GT", although
called a Porsche special by the factory,
was an aluminum body-steel door 356
SL with a four-cam engine. This car,
driven by Linge and Polensky, was
the overall winner of the Liege-RomeLiege rally in 1954.
