Don't know for sure what the reserve price on the car is. But 
according to the archives when the car was for sale @ DMC 
Houston back in 1998, the price was $125K. Granted that also 
came with a full restoration, which now that the car is selling on 
eBay as it is now, does not..

The car on eBay does indeed appear to be the same one 
featured in the DeLorean Gold Portfolio. From major items, like 
the gold rims, down to the exact same bends in the wires in the 
engine compartment.

But there are a couple of things that I'm curious about. The 
photos in the book show the words "ZWEI TURBO" written on the 
rear facia, and on the stainless below the rear. Perhaps this was 
later removed by DMC when deciding upon side treatments & 
designs. As are the 2nd items here which appear to be the 
brass badges that say "Twin Turbo Prototype" all over the car. If 
this was used for display purposes durring shows and such, 
then it would make sense.
