The most significant Porsche in history.

We followed legendary Porsche builder Rod Emory and his team as they defy the odds to restore arguably the most significant Porsche in history, the 356SL. This car gave Porsche its first ever class win at Le Mans in 1951.
This car is the definitive start to Porsche Motorsport.

What an emotional film. Such a beautiful Porsche. A true work of art. Like car 46, Rod and Emory Motorsports will be legend.

[@jimkaufman2568]

Well done Rod. My dad had photographed this car when it was the # 11 car at Torrey Pines Raceway in 1954. I have the slides and have since blown up the photos and put them up next to my 1984 Carrera. Until I saw the Jay Leno Show featuring you and Cameron, I didn't know the # 46 car at Rennsport 2015 I was standing in front of was the red # 11. Thanks for putting all the pieces together.....literally!

[@rennporsche9347]

This makes me smile every time I watch it. This car is everything.

[@Rennfilms]

Thanks for watching! I agree. It marks the very start of everything for them.

[@carmar246]

Rod is truly one of a kind. He and his crew's attention to detail is second to none. This restoration was a labor of love and it shows. To top it off, Rod is about the nicest and most generous person you can ever meet. I am a HUGE fan of Rod the person and his incredible work..........

[@club.mulholland]

Special. So very, very special. The commitment from Cameron, the belief in Rod - has to be commended. But at the same time, what a safe pair of hands to bestow such a responsibility. Incredible work, passion and attention to detail Rod. Congratulations. Lovely film guys.

The true essence of love for Porsche motorsport and history. This is how you explain a love of cars to someone. A truly incredible achievement and just amazing to see the dedication to traditional build techniques used alongside modern technology to bring a powerhouse of an motoring icon back to life. What an amazing group of people.

[@michaelmeliambro5117]

"This is how you explain a love of cars to someone" Now, explain it to ME.........explain it to me like I'm a two-year-old.

[@jhreaside]

@@michaelmeliambro5117 Problem there is that the emotional complexity of a 2-year old means that how their lunch tastes is more important than what restoring a 356 is..

[@michaelmeliambro5117]

@@jhreaside LOL Way to be accurate. I actually care far more about that than I do this damn car!!!

[@crasherror]

Fantastic work. Rod is a true Porsche Icon.

[@Perceni]

What a great short film. I knew the story but what a great way of telling the behind the scenes. Take out more films, this was spectacular.

[@vafaFour]

Heros!!! Super effort!

[@MrSemiz6r]

WOW! So truly special. Words cannot do it true justice.

[@EastOfOctober]

What a story, art in engineering. Such an inspirational and motivational story.

[@JM4300]

Man. What a story.

[@exilio2690]

Great documentary. How have more people not watched this video? I am a new owner of a slightly older Porsche and I feel so fortunate to own my humble little 911 and have a part of this very cool automotive history.

[@Rennfilms]

Thanks so much for watching. Very proud of this little film. Send to folks who would enjoy and maybe someday it'll get the view count it deserves. Cheers!

[@hagestad]

Nice stories but what is missing is that in 1950s there was more than Porsche is usually presenting. Ferry Porsche started to hire his buddies from SS. Literal hundreds of war criminals. Not to mention Ferry was SS volunteer during WW2. Now guess who build this car.

[@danhumps379]

Incredible story, and what a restoration!

[@BMRNYC]

Wow what an incredible and touching story! Thank you Rod for restoring #46 to its former glory!

[@BrianOMahonyPhotography]

What a great emotional film...and what a great piece of automotive history that has been restored for everyone to see... Bravo to all those who had a part in it...

[@ske1138]

[@gerdhermann752]

I was photographed proudly next to the '46' car in the Porsche museum in 2002, but after watching this I am SO thankfull for the fact that the TRUE 46 car was saved...and to learn of all the configurations it had to endure in its lifetime. Thank you for reviving a great piece art...😌😍

I’m a vintage VW man, but this has got to be one of the greatest motoring story’s I’ve ever seen. What a gorgeous car. And to see such emotion displayed by the builder is truly moving. Well done to all involved, I hope to be able to see it one day.

I want that drawing please!

[@marcpleines8303]

I had an Abarth Carrera with the 4 cam and a Spyder briefly and A 356 C nd SC with limited slip and a wonderful cam and rear sway bar with decamber rear end and wide wheels etc . I’ll never forget the smell of them ! 2000 Gt was my fav 356 . The Abarth had a roller bearing CRANK . I worked for Porsche part time while in high school . 1969 and then in 1973 . Dealing with rust was annoying but under control .

[@jr996turbo]

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏💪 There's No Substitute.

[@N911GT2]

Why does this film has got so few views? It’s perfect!

[@michaelmeliambro5117]

LOL The car was hardly perfect from the day it rolled out of the factory.

[@Rennfilms]

Thanks for watching. Perfect is a bit grand, but glad you enjoyed. Cheers

[@pikozbackintheday]

Cheers, of course. Glad you enjoyed the film. Share it around. Thanks!

[@yommish]

Gah hearing that archives were destroyed in a fire hurts

[@Rennfilms]

Thanks for watching. Yes, hearing about the fire is tough to fathom. Cheers

[@jockellis]

What did it win? Blue is usually the winning color.

[@Rennfilms]

Thanks for watching. It took 3rd place. Cheers

[@GSSurry]

The background music makes it difficult for people with hearing Impairment to hear the dialogue.

[@Rennfilms]

You can turn on closed captioning if it's difficult to understand the dialogue. Hope you enjoyed what you could. Cheers

[@IAm1InTheIAm]

Take a look at The First Porsche: the 1939 Type 64. See where #46 evolved from.
