If I'm not mistaken, Paul's body shell was restored and painted in England by our very own Bruce Cooper of Sportwagen.

Is this the same guy that owns the old school split bug (buried OG BRMs in his garden in search of patina) and used to own an amazing faux "Porsche support vehicle" panel van...........which I think Karmann Konnection had for sale ?¿

Crazy guy, great cars !!!

arrr this makes sence is this the guy that has a ratehr large collection of early 356's er mainly Pre A's and yes I do remember Bruce saying he was a difficult ( not nasty difficult customer but one who was very active in getting it just right ) customer to get the right colour and finish for.

Then Yes I know who you mean. Glad it's finished.

No, Paul doesn't own any other Porsches. That's a Swedish guy whose cars' are there...

But Paul is probably the guy you're referring to re: paint finish and colour match.
