Offered for sale is my 1961 Porsche 356B T5 Super Coupe, painted in a stunning COA matching Silver, with blue leatherette interior and oatmeal German Square Weave carpeting. Fully sorted, everything works just beautifully on the car-brake lights, turn signals, headlights, all gauges and even the radio as well as a working charging system! Recently painted, the paintwork on this car is absolutely gorgeous! Receipt in hand where the car was taken down to bare metal and then refinished. All gaps are even and doors close well with that nice Porsche "thunk". Hood closes well and evenly all the way around and is not kinked. Hood pull works well every time to open the hood. Rear engine lid opens and closes well and the engine lid pull works well every time.

Car was restored for the owner who gave the instruction that he wanted an "excellent driver quality car" that was fully sorted, a car that he could jump in, start, drive for the day and be proud of. This is that car. He searched for a car that was very solid to begin with and then began restoration on that car. We have a full folder of receipts of the restoration of the car which include seats done by Autos International, a new headliner, new side body deco strips, new Koni shocks, new shift linkage bushings, new clutch, pressure plate, release bearing, gland nut, flywheel seal, new brake wheel cylinders for all 4 wheels. Original owners manual is with the car along with a reproduction tool kit and an original Bilstein jack. The remainder of the interior, i.e., the door panels and rear seats are original and have not be re-upholstered. Tires are excellent with no cracks or checking, and the chrome wheels  and hubcaps make the car visually appealing.

The engine in the car is #705849 which is  a later model Super engine. As soon as the key is turned to start the car, the engine roars to life with no smoke or strange noises, and after a short warm up is ready to go. Brakes stop the car on a dime evenly and straightly and do not pull to either side as they are being applied. The car "takes the gas" and goes through all gears evenly and smoothly. There are no transmission or engine issues with the car. The reverse gear works well.


Here is a short video of the car being driven at highway speeds:

Supercar parade entering highway is mesmerizing

Thu, 09 May 2013

In what must have looked and sounded to motorists on the M6 like an invasion of The Swarm, a parade of 50 enthusiast gems leaving a charity event were caught shooting down the on-ramp and merging into traffic. There were plenty of Porsches joining the 959 and Ducktail above, Aston Martins going back to the badboy V8 of the last millennium, a Ferrari Testarossa, a TVR and numerous other Easter eggs.
There were not, however, plenty of turn signals, with someone counting just five among the fifty engaging in proper use of the blinker. One reason put forth for that is the same reason we're posting this video, which is from last Summer, below: "because supercar." Enjoy.

Porsche wants you to 3D print your own Cayman

Tue, 10 Dec 2013

Have you got access to a 3D printer? Well lucky you, because as we're rapidly learning, the possibilities are virtually endless. And if your tastes lean towards the automotive (as we'd assume they do if you're reading this page), we've got good news.
Porsche has just released 3D printing data for the Cayman S so you can three-dimensionally print out your own and customize to your heart's content. Now Porsche hasn't specified just to what scale the data will allow you to print your Cayman, but we have a feeling that'd mostly be limited by the size of the printer at your disposal. Check it out in the video below and follow the link to the Porsche site to download the file.

Petrolicious details why the Porsche 911 is something special

Thu, 26 Sep 2013

The Porsche 911 is a special car, if for no other reasons than it's been continuously produced since 1964, with nearly every generation regarded as being at or near the top of its class. But why the rear-engined icon has done so well among enthusiasts and regular drivers alike can't always be explained easily. To truly understand the 911, you have to experience the whole package, and that means driving one.
While just about every publication has raved about the Porsche, commercial director, race driver, photographer and 911 owner Jeff Zwart explains to Petrolicious why he was drawn to the legend as a young child, and why he still loves them today.
Zwart's professional and personal life are inextricably linked to the 911, and hearing him talk about the car and its history makes for fascinating viewing. Watch the video below to hear Zwart's story and see him drive a couple examples from his collection: an early 911 and the 964-generation Carrera 4 he won Pikes Peak with for the first time - a car that happens to be equipped with the 959 Paris-Dakar's fascinating torque-split transmission. Enjoy!
