1968 Porsche 911 L SWB Targa, Fully Restored

I'm no expert but even to my untrained eye I question the Specialistness of this Porsche specialist.

Main issue is body colour everywhere is incorrect but are there enough buyers who care about these things any more?

IMHO, a good paint layer over everything is better than overspray in places, more convincing the car is better protected, esp when paying so much?

Similarly, if this car was at a specialist auction, would it loose value because of being colour all over?
I'm no enthusiast for such details, but would feel more comfortable with a good job done to make the car last well.

For this ££££ all mechanical parts should be right? (matching etc)

I think that reply just about confirms where most buyers are these days.

The panels look pretty squiffy to me, then theres the dents on the underside, lack of underbody seal, later type badge, windscreen rubber in the top corner, weird front indicator fitment. My thoughts is if you are buying a fully restored 911 from a specialist these shouldn't be present, especially not for 150 large. I guess the lack of underbody seal is a preference thing but surely its not great for road noise.
