I’m currently the fourth owner. Purchased in 2017 with approx 156,000 miles. Just finished leak down test shows approximately 5% all around. See pic for invoice .It currently runs a B&B stainless steel exhaust - both stock exhaust and this included in sale. It has needed very little.

Recent Total brand Oil change and once over By Mekellos Classics Porsche service. Car runs on 225/50 16 & 205/50 16 Michelin Pilot Exalto's w approx 65% life left. Paint work is completely original looking with paint meter showing consistent on all panels as well as factory Vin tags on all necessary panels . Carfax shows accident in 2006. Paint match appears to be perfect. Previous owner mentioned that it was minor and front drivers fender was replaced w/ OEM part. The mounting sheet metal bolts on inside the of fender appeared to confirm the story. Again my paint meter reads accurate all around. This issue certainly wasn’t enough to keep me from purchasing this gorgeous car. As with any of these vintage cars odds are high they’ve been in an accident and perhaps just not reported . It appears as original paint. It is of course a numbers matching car in amazing drivers condition with typical minor stone chips on front hood. See pic .
