PRIOR CONVICTION
Matt Prior
This 356 was built by hand in a shed – but by Porsche, not its owner
Ina car park sits the oldest Porsche in the UK, just the 32nd ever made,worth the best part of £2.7 million.
It’s a creamy yellow 356, from 1950, back when Porsches were still made in Gmünd, Austria. It has a brilliantly detailed history, has never been restored, would make a terrific bookend to a billionaire’s expansive Porsche collection and could easily be entered into those concours events where they value ultimate originality. No question, it’s one of the most important cars in the history of the world’s greatest sports car maker.
