While the Porsche 911 claims the spotlight as the marque's most renowned model, the roots of Porsche's legacy delve deeper, notably into the cherished era of the 356. Eclipsed by the 911's fame, the 356 holds a special place in the hearts of automotive enthusiasts. Spanning from 1946 to 1965 across four iterations, the 356 embodies a timeless allure that persists among classic car connoisseurs. Original 356s are elusive, prompting the emergence of replicas like this 1957 Porsche 356 Replica, meticulously adorned with authentic Porsche badging. Fresh from a paint correction and waxing, this classic replica beckons exploration.
Contrary to its German origins, the 1957 Porsche 356 Replica embraces a British Racing Green exterior, complemented by a tonneau cover. A faithful recreation of the original 356's sleek lines, steel wheels, and chrome hubcaps accentuate its aesthetic authenticity. Complete with a tan convertible top and windows, this replica seamlessly combines classic charm with modern versatility. Within the cabin, simplicity reigns supreme. Brown low-backed seats, accompanied by a rear bench, offer modest comfort, the latter better suited for cargo than passengers. A three-dial instrument cluster featuring a tachometer, speedometer, and fuel gauge graces the driver's view. The three-spoke steering wheel, adorned with the Porsche crest, oversees a minimalist ensemble of pedals, a T-bar gear shift knob, and essential controls for lights and wipers. Stripped of distractions, the focus remains steadfast on the pure joy of driving this automotive masterpiece.
Performance expectations for the 1957 Porsche 356 Replica differ markedly from contemporary supercars, as its 1.6L Volkswagen flat-four resides in the rear, echoing the air-cooled heritage shared with vintage Beetles. A conservative estimate places the power output at around 60hp, channeled to the rear wheels through a manual transmission. While not a contender for speed records, the allure of this replica lies in the nostalgic driving experience it faithfully recreates.
Kit cars are a more economical way of owning an exotic classic that is hard to find or has become too expensive for most people to buy. The VW Beetle has always been a popular base used by kit car makers thanks to its versatility and easy availability. The Porsche 356 was closely related to the VW Beetle and shared mechanical components with it. The 356’s designer was inspired by a supercharged Beetle Cabriolet he had at the end of WWII and wanted to build a fast rear-engine, air-cooled, 4-cylinder, rear-wheel-drive car. The 356 was introduced in 1948 and produced (with changes) till the mid-60s. In one and a half decades of production, less than 77,000 356s are said to have been built, contributing to its desirability as a collector’s car. The 365 A (which was the model made from 1955-1959) has become a popular car for creating replicas of (such as this one, which is labeled as a 1958 model).
The Porsche 356 is an iconic sports car from the Forties and Fifties. It was Porsche’s first production model, and is a highly sought-after classic. Only 76,000 were produced, and it is estimated that around half may survive, in various states. Hence, it’s not uncommon for original Porsche 356s to be relatively rare, and expensive when they come on the market. Thankfully, if you want a Porsche 356 to grace your life, you can consider buying an excellent replica, such as this 1957 Porsche 356 Speedster Replica. The car is titled as a 1971 Volkswagen, and has been featured in various car shows over the years. Moreover, the current owner claims that it’s even won some awards and trophies!

Porsche’s first SUV, the Cayenne was introduced in 2002. The Cayenne quickly gained a reputation as a luxury SUV that offered Porsche’s signature driving experience, making it the most family-friendly car that the Stuttgart automaker offered at the time.

The Porsche 911 is on nearly every automotive enthusiast’s bucket list. This iconic rear-engined rear-wheel drive sports car was introduced by German automaker Porsche in September 1964. Its unconventional drivetrain layout and air-cooled engine quickly gained it a cult following. Throughout its life, the 911 has retained its iconic teardrop silhouette and rear-mounted engine, although that switched to a water-cooled unit in 1998. So, if you’re on the hunt for a Porsche 911 from a relatively modern era, consider this 2017 Porsche 911 Carrera Cabriolet. Coming from the 991 generation, this car has seen a healthy 73,000+ miles in its life so far, which is a testament to how enjoyable it is to own and drive. The car comes with up-to-date servicing as well, showcasing that it’s been cared for in the appropriate manner, making it a great buy. Two keys are included in the sale.
Porsche’s 911 may be the German automaker’s signature product, but it was far from their sole one. Over the years, Porsche dabbled (and continues to dabble) in other models too. The 928 was one of these. Produced between 1977 and 1995, it was a front-engined V8 grand tourer. The 928 received the European Car Of The Year award in 1978, and was highly praised by the automotive press at the time. That’s why you shouldn’t miss out on getting your hands on this 1986 Porsche 928 S, with just 76,500 miles under its belt. It’s an excellent modern classic to own and drive.
With Jaguar Cars recently rebranding to mixed reactions from auto enthusiasts, it’s a great time to remind ourselves of their greatest hits from the past. One of these is the XJS grand tourer. Produced between 1975 and 1996, the XJS is widely regarded as one of the most iconic Jags ever made. Its flying buttresses and grunty V12 engine all make for a superb driving experience, and one heck of a weekend cruiser. That’s why we’re glad to offer this 1992 Jaguar XJS V12. The car has covered 94,231 miles so far, and has reportedly undergone some recent maintenance.
Chevy’s fourth generation Corvette ran between 1984 and 1996, and was responsible for a major shift in America’s favorite sports car’s persona. The Corvette gained new, angular styling, a digital-style dashboard, more power, and enhanced handling. Mercifully, the much-loved pop-up headlamps were retained. Then, a high-performance variant called the ZR1 was introduced in 1990. The ZR1 drew heavily from Britain’s Lotus sports car maker. Enhancements included a new LT5 V8 engine, larger brakes and sportier suspension tuning. This makes the fourth-generation ZR1 one of the most sought-after neo-classic Corvettes. Here’s a great example up for grabs right now, a 1991 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 with just 69,000 miles on the clock. It’s got a rebuilt engine, while all info is as reported by the current owner.
