You’ve got a few weeks to get your travel plans in order if you wish to view this barn find 1965 Porsche 356C equipped with the desirable Super 90 engine. The 356 has been hidden for decades and emerged still wearing its beautiful shade of Bali Blue paint. The bodywork is tired but the car remains complete, and the seller notes that many of the parts are the same ones the 356 left the factory with based on the matching date codes. The 356 is a right-hand drive example, so it seems likely this one will remain in the UK once bidding wraps up. Find it here on Silverstone Auctions’ website and going to auction on July 31.

The 356 was discovered after 44 years in storage. In that time, it doesn’t appear to have suffered from the usual assortment of damage that comes from years of storage, like the proverbial paint can falling off the shelf and smashing a taillight. The bodywork does show signs of surface rust throughout and one would assume it doesn’t have any catastrophic rust due to the listing description suggesting you could drive this 356 with its patina intact. Of course, more than likely, it will be treated to a full restoration especially with the Super 90 engine documented as being a dealer-approved upgrade upon delivery.

I can’t remember the last time I saw a right hand drive 356, and while this was at one time commonplace in the UK, they seemingly pop up  quite rarely today. If you’re in the UK and have been searching for a right hooker 356 that isn’t a rust bucket, I’m sure this car will be on a few bidders’ short lists as one to own. The interior looks to be in good order despite its hiatus from the roadways, as the seat upholstery and dash top both appear largely undamaged. The seller doesn’t divulge whether the floors will need any work, but seemingly almost every air-cooled 911 does at some point. The matching paint in the door jambs suggests that Bali Blue is the original color.

The small details – the old registration sticker, the ancient keys – tell a story about how original this 356 remains despite years of neglect. The seller notes it comes with extensive records and receipts indicating years of proactive service before being parked for over four decades. Supposedly, the Super 90 engine was also rebuilt in 1976, and a receipt for the work is included. What is it about getting an engine rebuilt and then putting a car into storage? This happens surprisingly often. Hopefully, the desirable mill will still turn over with fresh gas. The auctioneer predicts the 356 will sell for £20,000 – £30,000.
