That's a shame, I think this is a very special car historically. I understand why some might say it's not a true Porsche, but it clearly has an a place in Automotive History and in the development of the Porsche brand. The fact that Porsche has a mock up of it at their museum reinforces that point.

I think Porsche should attempt to acquire it privately and put it where it belongs.

Sotheby's I think has a problem now. This is the kind of screw up that can do them some real damage.
