Evaluation: One owner from new. One of 200 built to Lightweight specifications with matching-numbers engine and transmission. Spotted and polishing-swirled original paint. Good chrome except for pitted door handles. Good glass. Crisp gauges with slightly fogged lenses. Stretched seat covers. Dirty wheels. Old undercoat in the wheel wells.
Bottom Line: Examined very closely during the preview by experts going through it from top to bottom, it must have passed muster for its correctness to bring this handsome price. It is a particularly important variant in Porsche history, sought by collectors for its rarity and the purity of its performance. It also is expensive but that is what it took to own it.
