I am always cruising around here on the weekend, because it's like a vacation for me.
Getting out on a Friday evening - out of this big city urban jungle with all this traffic.
You can chill out here and ride on all these marvelous country roads
- this makes me happy.
My name is Sebastian Wolff, I’m running a 1958 Porsche 356 A 1600 S.
The most beautiful design elements for me are the round fenders,
the position of the headlights,
the A-pillar with its extension to the roof and the elegant swing to the rear.
Just great!
Such a 356's has its very own sounds,
that clicking of the doors and bonnet,
the smell ... that‘s what is fascinating me.
If you kick the pedal and the four cylinders are on speed, the carburettor screaming ...
it's just music to my ears, and especially with the 1600 S there's something going on ...
this is not a slow car.
This is a real sports car!
In principle, it is a wonderful simple car, a great bodywork from Reuter,
sporty seats, a few round instruments, a steering wheel, 4 gears - that's all you need to have fun!
The car has been back in Germany for over 15 years and spent most of its life in sunny California.
That’s why it has never been completely restored, only repaired and maintained.
Of course, the engine and transmission have matching numbers.
One of the reasons why I bought the car was because of the color in combination with its red interior.
It is “Meissen blue” in reference to this legendary, royal, porcelain manufactory in Meissen.
Porsche DNA has always been racing, reliable functionality and speed.
In a 356 S, especially the A model, it is also the design.
And it is exactly this combination that makes this car so perfect to me.
In faster corners you have to be a bit careful, if you push too hard, it will bite you,
if you do it harmoniously you can really enjoy the sportiness of this car.
I've driven many Porsche, but, nevertheless, I'm not an outspoken Porsche expert,
nor a theoretician who knows every detail or number.
Well, with this car I just like the design and how it drives, that's something very special.
When I hit the road in my car, I feel so incredibly independent:
Unplugged,
no wifi, no network
nothing else matters...
