Porsche 911 art car goes up for sale

Think of art cars and your mind probably goes to BMW. The German manufacturer has been producing these painted motors since 1975, when Alexander Calder decorated the 3.0 CSL belonging to French racing driver and auctioneer Herve Poulain. However, the art car for sale here comes from a very different German manufacturer.

It's a pristine 1966 Porsche 911, notable for being a rare short-wheelbase model. Simply being a running 911 of this vintage almost guarantees a high price, but this example being sold by specialist luxury marketplace James Edition is somewhat more special.
