At the Savanah Parade in 2011, I showed the car to the Porsche paint guru (German ???), he loved the car and told me DO NOTHING, that's real original single stage paint patina that, back then (1978), was totally unknown to Porsche. He mentioned that to "really get rid of it" you need to go bare metal... but the car would loose great value.

Miguel,
Yes, that's the orange peel on the early 930 factory paint many could not live with and so they repainted their cars. Original paint examples are very scarce these days. Glad to hear you have one.



Paul,
Thanks for posing that eye-watering interior shot!
