    So you drove a Porsche for 10 years, sold it for a fair price, and made some money on the way... seems to me you're just helping the world go 'round and enjoying the ride at the same time! No harm in any of that!!!

    Auction Description:

    This early Porsche 911 was found some years ago in the US and purchased and imported as a restoration project by the now vendor. Realizing the importance of the car, a full restoration began with the aim to bring it back to the same condition it was when it had left the factory some 50 years ago. As 303509 still had all the important components like a matching numbers engine and gearbox, any missing parts were ordered from Porsche specialists. A photographic documentation of this restoration can be viewed.

    When finished recently, well over €100.000 were spent on labour and parts substantiated by available invoices. Today the car is superbly finished in its correct original Aga – blue paintwork and black leatherette and pepita interior.

    It comes with EU papers and a Porsche certificate. It is arguably one of the best and most original of these highly sought after early 911’s. This is one of the finest we have seen in recent years.

    Auction Description:

    • Much sought after 1st Series model
    • Matching numbers
    • Professionally restored in Holland
    • Eligible for numerous prestigious events

    Footnotes
    Manufactured in January 1966, this 1st Series (pre-A Program) Porsche 911 was delivered new finished in Aga Blue with black leatherette interior, and left the factory equipped with a Webasto heater and radio loudspeaker, as confirmed by its accompanying Porsche Certificate of Authenticity . Chassis number '303509' is one of the very early, short-wheelbase cars of the type much favored by the historic rallying fraternity, a situation that has led to unmodified examples such as this one becoming a great rarity and consequently much in demand.

    In 2012 the car was imported into the Netherlands where the current vendor, a Porsche collector, commissioned a full restoration with no corners cut. Undertaken by Dutch specialists, the rebuild was completed in 2016 and was photographically documented (see history file). This restoration included a full engine and gearbox rebuild, a six-coat re-spray in the original Aga Blue livery, re-chroming of the brightwork, a new Pepita interior, and an overhaul of the instruments. The body restoration was carried out by Houvers of Winterswijk, while the matching engine and gearbox were rebuilt by Koban Tuning of Lichtenvoorde, Holland. Closest attention to detail was taken to bring everything back to original specification. In total, some € 140,000 were spent to return the car to the effectively 'as new' condition it is presented in today, with many invoices available. Only a relative handful of kilometers have been covered since the restoration's completion and this beautiful Porsche 911 is presented in commensurately excellent condition. A copy of the old US title accompanies the car, which comes with EU customs duties paid and in free circulation within the EU.

    Considering what the work cost, I'd say they broke even.

    It's a general comment on the cost of time and parts. Nothing more.

    Doing a shit job on a restoration can take as much time, and by extension can cost the same amount as a great job. I have seen lots of examples of exactly this.

    So when you figure $25k car cost + $100K-plus for work + inflation + slight appreciation = very close to the sale price.
