Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

Chrome wheels, Talbot mirror, CD stereo underdash with four very nicely integrated speakers. Super 90 spec 1582cc engine (later than this chassis number) and 4 wheel disc brakes. Excellent paint, chrome, interior arid top. Small delamination in lower right windshield corner. Underbody undercoated and nearly like new. Not fresh but very attractive and clean. Color changed from Light Ivory over red with a bogus body tag. No Reserve.

Market commentary

This is a very good looking Porsche with desirable updates to improve its enjoyment and safety on the road, but the fake trim tag is an affront. It may be honestly disclosed this time but a few years in the future with less scrupulous parties involved the color change is going to be conveniently overlooked. Gooding Amelia was a Porsche mad auction and this mixed up Roadster was dragged along by the mania to an expensive price the new owner is going to regret.
