Impressive.

I have an identical one with 50t miles on in it. Pristine.

So what are you saying exactly, and to whom?

It's a very nice car.

The jump post and 14 pin cover are there and the air filter is in right side up.

A counter-example to those who predict COVID will kill the exotic/collector car market. On the other hand, the market for lightly-used newer Porsches definitely has pneumonia. But, I expect a full recovery.

Wonder if the Sotheby's car has 8500 mi fuel lines? Yikes.

I don't know. 88k and the center caps are unaligned. Crack Pipe. /s (For real, though, that's a lot of scratch)

At those miles, it sort of seems like the wheels haven't been touched so one would assume that's how Porsche put them on.

I can't help myself with that whole center cap thing, so apologies for the old joke. It's just a thing that I never really knew was a thing and now I can't help but chuckle every time I see it.

Carry on.

It's not even an 86.5. Goes to show what great detailing and good photography does for the final hammer. I wonder if Andy at OCD had his hands on this one?

It seems the car has brand new tires, which would explain the wheels being removed and the centercaps not being perfect.

Sure is pretty.

I think the low mileage and overall condition played a small part too

A car like this either surpasses the 85/86 vs 86.5 value difference or we can assume had this been an 86.5 it would have sold for $X more.
