@ebres63081 what more ownership history would you want or expect? There is a list of the owners compiled by one of the more previous owners (based on hand writing) it is based off the records which have all been uploaded to photo section. I suggest you spend the time to read through all provided documentation and it speaks for itself. We found this car for our client about 2 years ago.
@Workshop5001 can you give a little more ownership history? The person who made all these notes over the years... Is that the seller? If not when did you acquire?
@Molly63 start bidding and when you win it you can put as many miles as you want on it… There is no sad story here, this car has been cherished and preserved. It will be enjoyed by generations to come.
Very nice car but in some ways a sad story, think of all the missed opportunities to enjoy driving this beauty, my 62 B has a little over 283,000 miles and containers full of memories, good luck to buyer and seller

@artichoke the mileage is original, it has not turned over! See attached documentation. There has not been rust repair, nor is it needed. This is one of the finest survivor cars on the planet. Paint is almost all original. Repairs were documented. I can be reached anytime to discuss.
Gorgeous!!! Is the paint all original? Any rust restoration done or needed? Has the car been in any accidents? Can we assume the actual mileage is 145,659mi?

@Harboc I would absolutely consider this a concours condition vehicle, certainly in a preservation class. In the records is a receipt from work we did shortly after client purchased vehicle. It needed very little to be no excuses mechanically. The car is ready to drive and enjoy or show.
Is the car considered ‘concours’?
Hello bidders! We are proud to represent this 356 for our client. It is a magnificent unrestored survivor car. The odometer has never turned over, the 46,700mi is original and the vehicle history has always been documented. Happy to answer questions!
