The first ever production car from iconic German automaker Porsche was the 356. It was made between 1948 and 1965, and was the brainchild of Ferry Porsche, son of Ferdinand Porsche. Over 76,000 were made, and today, it’s estimated that approximately half of that contingent survives. However, getting your hands on an original 356 is quite tough, not to mention expensive. These cars regularly move for six-figure sums of money. That’s why replicas are a great way to get in on the action if you really want a 356, but aren’t too fussed about originality. Here, we have a 1956 Porsche 356A Convertible Replica that’s reportedly built in 1969. The work was completed by Hicks VW Services, because the Porsche 356 and Volkswagen Beetle have some commonalities.

The 2016 Porsche Cayman represents the sweet spot of Porsche’s mid-engine sports-car formula: compact proportions, sharp balance, and a naturally aspirated flat-six mounted exactly where enthusiasts want it. Showing approximately 13,093 miles, this example pairs its 2.7L flat-six with a 7-speed PDK automatic and rear-wheel drive. Finished in GT Silver Metallic over Garnet Red, it also benefits from the Premium Package, 20-inch Carrera S wheels, 14-way power seats with memory, and an aftermarket exhaust system. The color combination alone gives this Cayman plenty of presence, while the low mileage and strong factory option list make it especially appealing as a driver-focused modern Porsche.
