1959 Porsche Convertible D

 

2008 Porsche Parade 356A Full Concourse winner

This remarkable Roadster D was found by owner Stephen Bell in a barn close to Denver some years back. owner was only number two! He'd bought it in 1985 from original owner in California. After developing some engine issues he stuffed car up 20 feet high on a pallet rack in his barn to be forgotten for 20 yrs.

A small advertisement in the local paper made Stephen rush to acquire it.While Inspecting it the phone was hot and the owner had offers already from around the country. We had to pay several thousand dollars more for the car to buy it on the spot.

It was remarkable that it was close to complete with the original engine still in tact.

Planned never to sell and restore for myself until a client talked me out of car and commissioned Classic Investments to perform a Concourse restoration to the highest level.

This was painstakingly performed over a one and half years process solely to try win the worlds top Porsche Concourse which is the Parade.

This car won it's class with a score of 295 out of possible 300 beating a speedster that had never lost in 10 yrs of Concourse competion.
