I just went up in to the loft to find the old AA catalogue with the 916 article. The 916 didn't have a 47##### chassis number. George said his had a 914 chassis number but he discovered a VW paint code for white, as used in the Karmann factory, rather than the '1110' code used for white on cars from Stuttgart. He also mentioned the six engine mount had been welded poorly with a torch rather than spot welded and the oil tank holes and mounts had been lashed up similarly. He believed the chassis was a 1971 four cylinder pulled from the Karmann line rather that use a good 914-6 for what was a prototype

I can't tell you something about the other details, but I know of the colour code L80E. I've seen it with my own eyes at 914.2.33.0018 - and a friend told me that some other 916 show the same code.

Weird flares too... I'd bet they're glass.

Yes the fronts look strange, not blended.

From VIN 9141430400, approximately, all the 914/6 used the VW paint code, so I would expect that the 916 would have the VW code as well. If they were originally painted white by Karmann, that is not a problem. I guess the big question is, does the Karmann badge show the body # as well as the paint code?

All 914/4 Karmann badges AFAIK show the body # typical for that series.
No 914/6 Karmann badges AFAIK show the body #.
Therefore I conclude that the 916 got 914/6 series body shells.
Whether the 916 got fenders with the flares built in, I don't know. I do understand that new dies were made with the flare as part of the fender.
With the steel roof, I don't know if this was added during body assembly or later as a modification of the body. Too little is known of this process.

as from my knowledge, the 916 were built as prototype cars at the Porsche racing division, not at the standard 914-6 production line
I guess these guys didn't care of a correct Karmann badge ...

And wheels that sure look like Fachs.

And bizarre rubber lipped windshield seal up top (not a bad idea) with what looks like the stock lower trim piece painted flat black. Plus, non-GT-style rear bumper, "wrong" tires, lots 'o interior faux pas, etc.

Now, if the guy (and/or whoever buys the car) likes all these things, that's cool. But $65,000?!?
