Looking at the grills, the front signal lights have European style lenses. Was it originally delivered to Europe? You say it's sold from Munich, so not from factory. If it was sold from a German Porsche dealer, it will be a German and not US version. Then there will be some other differences - heat exchangers - compared to the US version.
Does it have an electric powered antenna, since it's mounted on the right hand fender?
If there are no serious rust issues it's a very nice and easy project to restore to an original car. I'm sure it will give you a lot of fun, working on it and of course driving it!
What color is on it? Looks like some kind of orange or is it just a red bleeched by the sun?

Hi Otto,
It has one 4 Screw grill and one 2 screw grill, so it must have been replaced at some stage.
Antenna is not electric.
Has Euro heaters.
Delivered new in Munich, Germany, Europe June 1966.
It was Polo Red from factory, it is more of an orange now. Will repaint back to polorot.
It has had new floor and sills at some stage. I think its probably had a restoration about 20 years ago. Neeeds a freshen up.
