Looking through a few old Porsche club magazines and found this account by a member who sold his 356A in 1970.
What is clear that this 356 then eleven years old at sale suffered the rust problems 43 years ago in exactly the same places we all know.
It was clear to me at the time these cars did not suit the UK climate but you just had to have one anyway.
I wonder how many years his car continued to be used after he sold it. His repair cost were so low, the respray we consider now to be probably in thousands was so low.
Thought it might interest some of you.

I remember a Porsche conversion as a kid in the late '70's my father was having with a guy. When the subject of the 356 came up he asked my father which model he had; A 356B or 356C car? My dad responded sort of sheepishly that the he just had a couple of 356A coupes but sure wished they were B or C's. I remember the guy responding empathetically to my fathers answer like, "yeah that is too bad". How things have changed! I really don't think anyone could have predicted present values... Anyway this post of yours reminded me of that day. Thanks again! Justin
