No it's not.

Neil after your 'glare from headlights' post the other day, this is another reason you need to get to the opticians! Non-original paint, non-original engine and non-original interior, 35 years since it was restored last so it will need doing again. Not that you can really see the condition of course, because of the over 200 photographs there's not one decent one, seems they haven't discovered the exposure compensation, levels, curves, contrast or just the plain auto button on their camera or software yet.

Maybe that's because they were too busy putting their logo across the pictures, as if someone would want to steal one of their shite images.

What I can tell you with my laser corrected perfect vision, is that no matter how hard I look I can't find a price anywhere..... POORsport.com, pathetic.
cheers, Mike.

Used to be beautiful, and of course the best picture of it is the one that POORsport didn't take!

The price is $240k on the 356 Registry advert :)

Actually, it’s your cataracts that are dulling the pictures Mike. We all find them really bright. :lol:

Monet’s ‘purple period’ towards the end of his life was the result of cataracts.

I mean have you seen the colour of his 993! Nobody (apart from Paul) would have one so bright unless they were seeing colours differently to everybody else!

:lol: :lol: :lol: Reminds me of a well known Fleet Street photographer who thought rather a lot of himself, as the digital age came in someone asked him in an interview what made him so good, he said, 'I've got more pixels in my eyes than any one else'..... :roll:
