About the Porsche 356B Cabriolet Aubergine Bburago 1:18
TL;DR: Bburago's 1:18 diecast Porsche 356B Cabriolet reproduces the 1961 classic in Aubergine, an unusual purple-toned finish rarely seen on 356 replicas. Entry-level construction delivers the rounded pre-911 body at accessible pricing for a vintage Porsche display.
Most 356 replicas arrive in red, silver, or white, so this Aubergine cabriolet stands out on a shelf of Porsche's earlier generations before the flatter, angular 911 replaced its rounded fenders.
An Uncommon Color on an Entry-Level Cabriolet
Aubergine is a demanding color to get right at any price, since a poor mix reads either too blue or too brown, and this model lands closer to a genuine deep purple than a muddy compromise. The folding soft-top well and rounded rear fenders that define the 356's shape hold their curves cleanly in the diecast tooling. Bburago's entry-tier build means the doors open on simple hinges and the cabin stays simplified, molded seats and a basic dash rather than mapped stitching, and panel gaps run wider than a mid-tier build. None of that undermines the color choice itself, which does real work making this cabriolet distinct from the red and silver 356s that fill most collections.
The 356B's Position Ahead of the 911
Porsche produced the 356B from 1959 to 1963 as a mid-cycle update to its original road car, refining the shape before the fundamentally new 911 arrived in 1963 with a flatter, more angular profile. The 356's rounded fenders and low headlamps trace back to the car's origins as a lightweight, air-cooled sports car built on a shoestring, a lineage that gives it genuine standing as the car that established Porsche as a road-car manufacturer. Cabriolet versions like this one let owners experience that early Porsche formula with the top down.
On a vintage Porsche shelf, this Aubergine cabriolet works as a color-driven centerpiece next to more conventionally finished 356s and 911s.
