Porsche 356 A

In late 1955, with numerous small but significant changes, the 356 A was introduced. Its internal factory designation, &quot;Type 1&quot;, gave rise to its nickname &quot;T1&quot; among enthusiasts. In the US 1,200 early 356s had been badged as the &quot;Continental&quot; and then a further 156 from autumn 1955 to January 1956 as an even rarer T1 &ldquo;European&rdquo; variant after which it reverted to its numerical 356 designation. In early 1957 a second revision of the 356 A was produced, known as Type 2 (or T2). Production of the Speedster peaked at 1,171 cars in 1957 and then started to decline. The four-cam &quot;Carrera&quot; engine, initially available only in the spyder race cars and a small number of Pre A cars, became an available option starting with the 356 A.&nbsp;In late 1959 significant styling and technical refinements gave rise to the <a href="https://www.classic.com/m/porsche/356/356-b/">356 B</a> (a T5 body type).
