Up for auction is an officially licensed by Porsche battery-operated Porsche 356. Made in Italy by TT Toys, this beautifully crafted ride-on represents the first Porsche 356-001 Gmünd.
356/1 chassis 001 was the first post-World War 2 product to emerge from Porsche’s Gmund workshop in Austria. Porsche uniquely equipped the 356/1 with a tubular spaceframe chassis that used a mid-engine configuration. Power came from an 1100cc Volkswagen-derived engine fitted with a custom big valve head. 001’s naked rolling chassis was tested in March 1948 and, by June, it had been clothed with a slippery aluminum body. On June 8th, the car was registered with the Austrian authorities and issued license plate K 45286.
This 356 ride-on features a 6V Motor with a rechargeable 6V battery and a top speed of 2.5mph. Finished in silver paint with a red interior and riding on rubber tires, this ride-on is suitable for drivers aged 3-5 and makes for the perfect decoration or gift for a future air-cooled enthusiast. The buyer is responsible for shipping, handling, and fees.

Thank you for all the bids this far. Sad to see this one go as it’s very unlikely to see one for sale again, but it will make the new owner or child very happy!

@RehovLLC12 haha zero! I bought this for my son when he was born at Christmas, and after 10 years of display it has never been ridden on the street and a handful of times indoors. It is almost in 'like new' condition, and far rarer than the recent RS pedal car i just auctioned in the pictures.
Bid in the amount of $500
What’s the mileage??
