Condition
#1 Concours
World-class. Could compete in the world’s best Concours d'Elegance events.
Vintage raced during the 80's and 90's by Manfred Knebel in Germany. Freshly restored, engine upgraded to 692/3A specifications. The paint is phenomenal. Very good brightwork. The engine and underbody have all been redone to very good quality. The interior has been completely redone and has no obvious flaws. A beautifully restored genuine car with no corners cut.
Market commentary
During a very much Porsche-centric week in Amelia Island how this GS/GT with its rarely seen original engine escaped the bidders' attention with this parsimonious bid is hard to understand. But, perhaps it had to do with the modifications to the engine? Is the departure from originality enough to overcome the increased performance? In the absence of testimony from bidders the answer to that question will have to be held in abeyance, leaving only a lingering regret that it didn't find market equilibrium.
