It was considered lost for almost sixty years, but now shines again in all its original splendour: the Porsche 356 chassis number 5006, one of the first seven Porsche sports cars produced in Stuttgart.
In 2013, a mysterious call brings Thomas König and Oliver Schmidt to an uncultivated garden near Bremen. The interlocutor says that ‘the oldest Porsche’ is there. Research reveals that it is not just an ordinary Porsche.
In a spectacular recovery operation, the two unearth this automotive treasure and meticulously restore this car to the condition in which it left Zuffenhausen's factory in 1950.
