wonder what happened to the "electric sliding roof"... probably a mistake in the COA
And the 'leatherette and cord seats'!Don't know anything about the car, although there were a couple very similar for sale last year (at 1/2 the price att). My guess is it would need quite a bit of work, which might justify a 'light' restoration - although that might not involve 'light' expenditure. A pair of correct recaro sports seats (which it deserves), could be £5k+

Its a hard one to answer or quantify, but I do get why.

I think that covers it.
they're more 'fun' than a 993 ( we're talking subtle differences that add up to the sum of the experience )
I've still got my 2.4S after 12 years , I get a more driving pleasure from it than any other porsche I've driven ( incl the current PH favorite 996 GT3 )
My 964 feels like a dull engined heavy weight in comparison
Of course we're all different , and what I & others think are amazing, won't appeal to other people
Values .. the whole market appears a bit daft , but there is a lot of wealthy people out there & these cars or cars like them are not being produced anymore. Being an owner, I can't complain , but for someone like me it will get to a point where the value out weighs the fun.

Thats the obsession bit! They are very sensitive to the smallest detail variances, ride height, wheel size, tyre profile, camber, tyre tread style even!
They all look so different to me, with their own characteristics and of course history.
