And it had perfect Cup II wheels.   The wheels and new Porsche manual gearbox would have been worth about £15,000

Someone got a bargain!

What was the listing number for the car that sold recently?  I have been keeping an eye on things in case a cheap one came up so I  could pull the engine and rebuild it as a spare for when inevitably I blow mine up on the track.
