The 356B that Porsche used to wow the public

When this Porsche 356B rolled off the line in 1963, the German automaker assigned this as its Werkseigenerwagen. That mouthful of a name means Porsche used it as its factory demonstrator and press car, and with good reason.

This 356B came loaded with options: Eberspacher gas-electric auxiliary heater, three-point seatbelts for driver and front-seat passenger, an exterior thermometer, and a clock mounted to the glove-box door. Plus, it was just one of 27 Carrera 2s to receive a sunroof.

U.K. Porsche specialist Roger Bray acquired the car in 1998, and then a detailed restoration ensued. The body was stripped to its bare metal, repaired and repainted in its original Light Ivory paint. Bray retained as much of the factory-installed parts as possible, including the trim and interior. All that work earned it a place in Classic Porsche magazine in 2013.

Find this 1963 Porsche 356B Carrera 2 Sunroof Coupe for auction at Bonhams | Cars, with an estimated value of $480,000-$580,000.

Beautiful car however I am not one of those people that have  half a mil just lying around!   I would want to drive and use it.  At that price, I guess not! ( Well, the new owner could......)

Just because Bonhams thinks the clock is on the glovebox door, that's no reason for us to blindly follow. Clearly, the clock is on the far side of the glovebox door.

The issue of who thought this was a good idea is a different conversation. I'm not an Early Porsche Guy: was it a thing to stick the clock as far away as possible from the driver?
