I had a client negotiating on this car, it is not as good as it looks, and after close inspection he decided not to buy it. Like the 5100 mile green one, this one was stored in harsh conditions

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/stromberg.gif) Paint job for sure. But at least they polished the aluminium tag (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif)

“Totally original”. Uh … sure

Makes it even more of a travesty that it hasn’t been driven

disagree. not a repaint. but not disagreeing vehemently! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
look at the door inners where the karmann badge is?
check hinge pins etc.

if it is a repaint its a very good one. better than your typical american, aussie, and esp english. in fact better than any i have ever seen.
might have been touched up here and there maybe.

very easy way to tell.
stick head up under dash and inspect under cowls and back in front trunk near bonnet hinges. paint goes thin in those areas on the factory paint cars.
restorers get way too much paint all over the car everywhere. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
i can't see in the photos if thats the case.
