Beginning in 2007, the car was serviced exclusively by the renowned Laguna Hills-based Porsche shop Vision Motorsports. Vision Motorsports maintained the car from 2007 to 2020. Every service record from both Newport Porsche and Vision Motorsports is included with the sale of the vehicle and covers the timeframe from original delivery through the end of the original owner’s tenure in 2021. There are over 40 service records included.
Unfortunately, in the late summer of 2021, the original owner passed away, and the car was purchased from his estate by a long-time friend who resides in Los Angeles. The car remained in the Venice area of Los Angeles with the second owner for several months before CPR Classic acquired the car. In late 2021 prior to arriving at CPR, the car was serviced at Fantasy Motorsports, where new brake pads and sensors were installed along with a fluid service.
Upon arrival at CPR Classic, the car was thoroughly inspected and then received a detailed paint correction to remove minor oxidation and surface scratches that black paint tends to develop.
