A copy of the accompanying Kardex warranty card for this 1961 356 Coupe shows that it was completed on 2 March 1961, destined for the famous Max Moritz dealership based in Reutlingen, Germany. The dealership, just south of Stuttgart, specified the car in Schiefergrau (Slate Gray) over a Red Kunstleder interior and fitted with Dunlop tires. Furthermore, the Kardex reveals that the Coupe was fitted with the optional Type 616/2 1600 Super engine that produced 75 horsepower, 15 more than the standard "Normal."

The Kardex shows that the car was in the United States by 1961, likely showing the car may have been purchased by a member of the military stationed in Germany or through Porsche's tourist delivery program. Since then, the engine has been replaced with the current engine serial and type numbers, revealing that the original unit was replaced with a 1.6-liter type 616/36M engine with dual Solex carburetors from 912, offering improved performance and drivability with 90 horsepower.

The history file notes that the car received a major service in 2011 by Red Line Racing in Thornaby, England, with a carburetor rebuild, an overhaul to the braking and electrical systems, and the installation of a new starter and muffler, with the invoice totaling over 4,600€. More recently, the car was acquired by the current owner in 2015. Since purchasing the car, it benefits from recent service work that includes replacing rubber seals, trim pieces, and paint work. Accompanying the car is a copy of its Kardex warranty card and its Porsche-issued Certificate of Authenticity.
