Hello Folks can someone tell me from when Porsche stared to paint the boot body color ?
I am about to buy an E car and the boot is painted black, not a big deal but need to know if it's right ?
The car is a 2,2L 70
Thanks
;)

EDIT: I take that back. This is a very correct 71 and it is the boot is rough finish in body colour. https://skydrive.live.com/?cid=F147D...F3FCCDE9%21315
Only the engine compartment is black in this case.
Most likely this car is a Karmann car, as many trunks were painted black through 70 on cars originating from them. The factory MY 70+ cars had body colored trunks.Quote:

Mine is a 1970 Euro-version and looks 'semi-finished' . . . meaning its painted --- just not to the same standard as the exteriorQuote:

My August of 1971 produced for MY 1972 coupe has black engine compartment, black wheel wells, and body colored boot.
Yes, all that makes sense for an S, which were never bodied by Karmann...Quote:
