Market commentary

As thoughtful as the modifications are, this is not the car most Porsche enthusiasts want. The updates are expedient, and it isnt either a consistent restoration or a high performance outlaw. The quality of the workmanship and components are, however, evident and it should drive extremely well, attributes are are appropriately reflected in the price it brought.
