1964 Porsche 356C 1600 (SC)

Built in 1964 and first registered in 1965 in America.

In its most simple form, it is a 356 C with a period correct 1600 SC engine fitted (1964).

Imported to the UK in the 1980’s, it went on to be prepared for historic rallies and as such is fitted with the following upgrades:

• Oil cooler
• Full-flow oil filter conversion
• Long-range fuel tank
• Sump guard
• CIBIE spotlights
• Close ratio 2nd & 3rd gears
• Roll-cage
• Bucket seats
• Fire extinguisher
• Brantz

It has been an entrant on the following rallies, just to give you an idea of what it could go onto do again:

• 2001 Rally of the Tests
• 2002 Rally of the Tests
• 2003 Rally of the Tests
• 2005 Winter Trial
• 2005 Rally of the Tests
• 2006 Classic Marathon
• 2007 Rally of the Tests
• 2008 Winter Trial
• 2010 Three Castles
• 2011 Three Castles
• 2012 Rally of the Tests
• 2013 Rally of the Tests
• 2014 Winter Challenge
• 2015 Rally of the Tests
• 2016 Winter Challenge
• 2022 Generations Rally

Prior to its current ownership, Tuthill Porsche were asked to give the car a thorough ‘going over’, with invoices on file for just shy of £13,000.

A few years later it was acquired by the current owner, and under his ownership the car has been serviced by the likes of R.G.A Porsche, and most recently by Rindt, where they also replaced the following:

• Distributor cap
• Spark plugs
• Fuel pump
• Fuel hoses
• Fluid service

Upon arriving with us for sale, we had the car fully inspected and commissioned some minor remedial work carried out. The underside has been stripped and rust proofed, and the exhaust system has benefitted from all new gaskets.

Cylinder compressions are all coming back between 130-150psi.

As always, if you would like to make an appointment to come and view, please don’t hesitate to get in touch!
