Buying a 1951 Porsche 356 Pre-A Coupe

The 1951 Porsche 356 Pre-A Coupe is an automotive legend. This hard to find vehicle was difficult to find in 1951 and is even more rare on the classic car scene today. This racing-style, aluminum body car was part of the first full production year to be built at the Porsche facility in Stuttgart, Germany. The 1951 Porsche 356 Pre-A Coupe broke records for speed and reliability during a 72-hour race in Montlhery, France when it covered almost 11,000 kilometers with its 1.5L engine. The 1951 model of the 356 increased its power over the 1950 model by four horsepower. Its top speed was up to 92 mph, an achievement in its time, with a remarkable 32mpg fuel consumption rate. These early 1950’s Porsches stand out against other European cars of the period with their superior handling, exceptional design and true racecar experience. The Coupe models in particular are popular with those buyers who want more protection from the elements than given with the Cabriolet models, and continue to be some of the most desired Porsche models to ever be released.
