The new T5 Roadster brought several marked changes in appearance: the front fenders and headlamps were raised, as were both the front and rear bumpers to better deal with urban parking. New vertical bumper guards also helped in that respect. Brake-cooling intakes were added to the nose below the front bumper, helping assist 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 magnificent 1961 Porsche 356 B T5 1600 Roadster featured here is finished in gorgeous Ruby Red over a Tan leather interior with a Black folding convertible top. Featuring an older, yet still well-presenting restoration and service records dating from the 1960s to present, this exceptional 356 Roadster will be a fabulous 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!
