As with all T5s, the new Roadster brought several changes to the 356's appearance: the front fenders, headlamps, and both bumpers were raised to better deal with urban parking and increase safety. New vertical bumper guards also helped in that respect. Brake-cooling intakes were added to the nose below the front bumper, helping cool the updated cast-aluminum Alfin brake drums with iron liners. The new Roadster shared many of the comfort attributes of the Convertible D (and more expensive Cabriolets), including roll-up windows, adjustable seats, and a well-constructed convertible top with a tan-painted frame and wraparound plastic rear window. For those with competition in mind, the windshield could be removed fairly easily, a boon given Roadsters, like the Speedster and Convertible D before them, remained popular in amateur sports car racing worldwide. Unsurprisingly, the model attracted celebrities like Steve McQueen and Janis Joplin and remains a highly desirable variant of the vaunted 356 to this day. The fabulous 1960 Porsche 356 B T5 1600 Roadster featured here is finished in gorgeous Fjord Green over a Black leather interior with a matching folding convertible top. This incredible example of a 356 Roadster coach-built by Drauz has received a stunning restoration during previous collector ownership and will be a sensational addition to any Porsche collection. We are proud to offer this numbers-matching, show-quality Porsche Roadster to the most demanding collector, investor, or enthusiast who desires to own one of the very best!
