Hi all
Been looking at buying a 356 for a bit of fun over the summer and the prices appear to be on the up.
Quite fancy a coupe as the roadsters (good ones) have gone crazy recently on price.
There are a lot of restoration projects coming in from the states,but would like either a 356b or 356c in driveable and usable condition.
The 356b appears affordable but am wondering if it would be wiser to go for the 356c which has better brakes (discs)
Had a drive in a 356b yesterday and it was great and obviously very old school as it is knocking on 50 years old and was alarmed to find it had no seat belts and absolutely nothing in the way of creature comforts but i thoroughly enjoyed the experience.
What is the general opinions on one as a useable classic,all comments welcome.
Has anybody spotted a good one for sale ?
cheers

Gorgeous cars but not cheap any more.
The wife really wants one to replace the 944, but she fancies a Speedster which will have to be a replica. These are pretty nice too, with some modern features.
These cars were rotting from the day they left the factory, from the inside out, so at some point they will all need some restoration, so make sure you get a good one or it could get expensive.
Sadly these days they are a very rare sight on our roads, but would make a stunning summer car.
