Not quite as pretty as a picture apparently. A friend of mine viewed it a couple of weeks ago.

Does look nice in the pictures though (I thought so anyway).

I went to see 'an immaculate ' 964 once at JZM ... It was anything but

I did think that E was reasonably priced in JZM terms, as it looks great in the pictures.

Lots of rust visible in the pictures, if you look close.

Perhaps it is glue, but thought it looked like rust showing through.

These are comment from m friend who viewed the car in the West Country on April 24th
"Went to see the 911E on Sunday-a wasted trip. Car over described and about 2 X the realistic price. Only stayed 5 mins. Rust bubbles and 50 Shades of white paint. Guy was a trader masking as a private seller.
The info the guy sent through was excellent but the photos were strong on style and (with hindsight) weak on detail. On the phone he said it was 'the best in the country' so he is either a bit deluded on trying it on"

I was just typing out a post and read Nick's ^^^. Thinking for a specialist dealer the price (as a starting point) wasn't as much as i thought. From the images it looks pretty as a picture.
Interesting it doesn't bear up as it seems to present really well and this doesn't come across from JZM's write-up. No mention of "patina" even.
"This vehicle really was a dream to inspect and needless to say it passed the inspection with flying colours as it has never been welded, it has original factory doors, panels and floorpan. This is a genuine California car that has lived the last 45 years in a dry, warm west coast climate. We just don’t get to see them like this in Europe. The car has now been fully prepared for the British climate by means of a thorough wax oiling, this car really does ned to be seen to be fully appreciated."

Interesting comments and amazing how quickly opinions are formed.
Sounds like two different cars based on the descriptions above!

Maybe Neil's version will better stand the scrutiny:
