These photos were posted on instagram yesterday from Canepa’s shop. Is this the 916 Brutus that sold for $1M in Paris last winter?

Well , Probably not up to new owner standard..
https://gramho.com/media/2178768345410884736 and the car was said to be in sorry shape. Rust and prior body repairs complicated the restoration process, as did the unique 2.9-liter racing-spec engine. For the latter, the rebuilding was entrusted to Porsche RSR specialist Drew Slaton, while engineer-turned-racer Jürgen Barth and 914 authority George Hussey contributed their expertise to the project as well. budget is everything, it was bought to be sold..at auction |

I’d be interested to hear George’s comments regarding this. |

Purchased for $1M and than restored....that’s a lot of coin invested. I’d be interested to hear George’s comments regarding this. I love that even a $1M car still has rust! Won't after it leave Canepa's. I'm sort of torn on this. Too many cars are over restored IMHO. But rust never sleeps and it might be hard to sleep at night knowing the tin worms are eating your $1M toy. Oh, the horror! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif) Canepa's is amazing and when it leaves it will be better than it was they day it came off the boat but it will still likely have some tin worm infestation even if only between the sheetmetal flanges where various panels come together for spot welding. I'd be curious to see what Canepa's does to address the hidden and/or inaccessible rust. |
