Repost for the weekday crowd. Sunday at 6:30 may not have been the best time to post this :-)

I’m not usually a Porsche fan, but this beautiful car caught my eye. What can you tell me about this unusually equipped example I found over the weekend? I really like the luggage rack and headlight grills. Also, take note of the green Nurburgring seal on the rear of the car.

Never been a fan of protective mesh for the headlamps, but the old-style single long beam/single fog light combo is lovely.

That luggage rack too...

Were the gravel guards a factory option?

The chairman of my company has a Super 90 very similar to this one (red convertible). My dad bought a white coupe when he was young & single 50+ years ago.

It’s an uncommonly beautiful car, especially in this condition.

The color-matched bumpers are rare, aren’t they? Is that what you were referring to?

I wouldn’t be able to say. But I suspect it is the typical period accessory that many years later becomes de rigueur among enthusiasts or collectors, even if at the time it was not that common.

Incidentally, those lamps look very much like Lucas units rather than Hella or whatever, but who cares. Surely some Porsche owners may have fitted lights of non-German brands.

I was referring to the headlamp protectors, but now I’m wondering about the color matched bumpers too.

After google search: All seem to have color matching bumpers, the exhaust through the rear bumper is pretty sweet
