Introducing this 1960 Porsche 356B 1600 S Cabriolet VIP Escort "Protection Group" Police Car ("Sicherungsgruppe") featured with matching numbers. Finished in its factory color scheme of Black (6013), which perfectly complements its sleek and elegant design. The Black interior further enhances the overall aesthetic, creating a harmonious and luxurious atmosphere for both driver and passengers.
This 356B 1600 S boasts a rich history that adds to its allure. Accompanying the vehicle is a signed letter from Dr. Ing. h.c. F. Porsche AG, dated September 2, 1982. This letter provides invaluable insights into the car's past, revealing that it was delivered on February 11, 1960, to a dealer in Cologne, West Germany. From there, it found its first customer in the Police of Wiesbaden, Germany, further enhancing its unique appeal.
This Porsche was originally purchased by the Federal Criminal Police Office, also known as "Bundeskriminalamt" in Wiesbaden, Germany. However, its true significance lies in its subsequent use by the esteemed "Protection Group" division of the Bundeskriminalamt, responsible for VIP protection and escort services, specifically for the Federal Chancellor and his official guests. The "Protection Group" used a total of two black 356 Porsche cars, one of them a Coupe and the other was this precise Cabriolet. With its sleek black exterior, this Cabriolet 356B was an integral part of the "Protection Group's" fleet, serving as an escort vehicle during the Federal Chancellor's official engagements. This vehicle played a crucial role in ensuring the safety and security of high-profile individuals, making it a symbol of authority and prestige. Accompanying this extraordinary Porsche is a signed letter from the Federal Criminal Police Office "Bundeskriminalamt", dated March 15, 2000. This letter provides details about the vehicle's history and its significant role within the "Protection Group" based in Bonn and later in Bonn-Bad Godesberg (copy of the vehicle title included [in German]). This document serves as a testament to the car's authenticity and adds an extra layer of provenance to its already impressive legacy.
The Certificate of Authenticity is also included with this vehicle, ensuring its originality and authenticity. Additionally, the vehicle comes with service receipt copies totaling over $21,000, showcasing the care and attention it has received over the years. Included with the vehicle is also a shipping document (bill of lading), showcasing its journey from Le Havre to San Francisco, California on August 20, 1968. This historical document adds an extra layer of intrigue to this already remarkable car.
This Reutter-bodied 356 is equipped with a 4-speed manual transmission and a flat 4-cylinder air-cooled engine. This Porsche was originally equipped with a 1600 S engine, the "Protection Group" police department sent it back to the Porsche factory to be upgraded to a 1600 SC engine. This upgrade is documented on the Porsche Certificate of Authenticity, underscoring the car's authenticity and adding to its allure. Additional equipment includes Weber dual carburetors, VDO instrumentation, Hella-branded headlights with chrome rings, beehive tail lights, black Cabriolet soft top with a matching color boot cover, Michelin tires, chrome hub caps with a Porsche crest, and a spare tire fitted in the front trunk. Convenience features include low-back bucket seats, manual-crank windows, vent windows, passenger dash grab handle, 2-spoke steering wheel, map pockets, Alpine radio, and a fender-mounted antenna.
