Market commentary
It isn't unusual to see a meticulously restored Porsche Speedster, but it is rare as hen's teeth to see one done like this that is so pure and correct, with complete matching numbers including the body panels. The new owner could have paid well into the estimate range and still gone home clutching tightly to the security blanket of "the best". At this price it is an astute acquisition that will reward the new owner over and over.
