I know it's flavour of the month to keep everything original although I personally see nothing wrong with a nicely done backdate.......after all impact bumper cars are pretty ugly.
I would never have thought it took £40K to do one though.....surely £15-£20K would be nearer the mark?

I do like them and think certain cars look great but then I've always loved the look of an English Bull Terrier and they're damned ugly too!

Narrow bodied IB cars can look pretty cool IMHO

Jamie,
How did you work out that this was the NOTORIOUS Wayne Krieger ?
I sent the ad to a friend in SF Bay Area, who sent it to another friend in the Bay Area, who knew exactly who this was and wrote back a pretty unfavourable review of his character.
Problem for him is the Porsche community is relatively small, and talks a lot. Poor business model.

Those aren't narrow bodied IB though as they both have Carrera onwards rear wings

It's just a bumper car now.
Nice though.
