Guys,
Some info I have posted before on Samba some is new. In the late sixties and very early seventies a number of technical reports were produced by some guys in the Porsche Club UK when I was also a member.
This info now over 40 years old took them some time to produce and one guy an American Tony Standen who had a passion for 356 made a good job of this with also another member. He passed a number of years ago but I often refer to their work. I know they had contacts at the factory and for this information of establishing chassis numbers to engines, engine model types to engine numbers and when detail changes were made in production it really helped many when buying a car over 40 years ago. I cannot guarantee anything they have written but it has always tied up very well for me .
Further more, its easy to find rather than looking through books. I also attach a single 356 accessory page form 1964. It details the items and price for accessories bought in 1964. ( Multiply by 1.6 the English pound price for dollars to give you an rough idea. Again there were accessories shown I had no idea were available.
Photo one: ( Engine model types from 1950 -1964 )
Photos two and three: ( 356 changes to the chassis 1950-end of 356A)
Photo four: ( 356B/C chassis changes )
Photo five: ( 1964 accessories )

I threw away the ones from 1969 and 70 /71 most people always chuck them away 
I liked them so started saving them in 72.
