GarageScout Take

T5 Reutter coachwork with a bare-metal restoration, a 912-based big-bore engine, and a rebuilt gearbox carrying a Vic Skirmants fourth gear give this 356B a distinctly upgraded mechanical identity. Mileage sits mid-pack for the generation, while the red finish differs from its original Ivory (738), and the replacement engine and minor lower-fascia road wear are part of the record.

Strengths

  • Reutter-bodied T5 356B with a documented 2012 bare-metal, rotisserie refinish and 2013 restoration.
  • Upgraded Porsche 912 engine and rebuilt transmission with Vic Skirmants fourth gear.
  • Named-specialist service in September 2022, including clutch, brake, steering, fuel, and valve-train work.
  • Functional original Blaupunkt radio and documented restoration photography.

Watch For

  • The red finish differs from the original Ivory (738) finish.
  • The car has a replacement Porsche 912 engine with extensive internal and induction upgrades.
  • The seller notes minor road wear on the lower front fascia.
