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..

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

Purchased for $1M and than restored....that’s a lot of coin invested. I’d be interested to hear George’s comments regarding this.

Finding this interesting since the 916's were built using white body 914-4 according to what I have read.

I’m confused. It was just restored, assembled and sold at auction. Is it getting redone?

Yep, Brutus is getting redone. Saw it two nights ago as photographed above. It's freshly stripped of all parts—not yet in new paint, as noted in the IG post.

Funny, if you read through George’s story of the last rebuild it talked about meticulous and perfect restoration, only the best, engine specialists, etc. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

When it was at the shades event, there was a bunch of stuff wrong with it. Lots of poor fitting parts. i.e. bumpers, trim, seals, etc. Funny, but there were several people nit picking what was wrong with it. At the event they said they were going to take it apart and redo it.

Who bought it at auction? george was seller or sellers rep? $1M even to include buyer's premium? It will look nice roped off in a museum. Should put a see through floor under the display.
