DDK - Die Deutschen Klassiker

I imagined myself with a 914 when I saw one in a magazine when I was twelve. I bought mine from a DDKer and owned it for twelve years, June 06 to June 18, amounting to a quarter of my life! But it's being collected by its new owner on Saturday. I have already pointed him to DDK; he has a 90's 911 an...

I know I'm late to add to this, but I've not been visiting DDK much and I hadn't heard of Mike's passing. I met him only once, late last summer when I turned my 914 around on the drive and as I drove back towards the garage a car stopped outside and Mike got out to introduce himself, having chanced ...

It's a 1.7!

Owned by me since June 2006, when I purchased from a DDK member. The car was originally yellow, first registered in Nevada, USA and imported in 1981. It was the 2007 Crap Cars calendar Miss June! I was told it was made UK-legal, resprayed and various work such as floor pan patches, was undertaken by...

Thanks, chaps.

Can I ask please for your collective expertise on the value of my 914? Some of you might know the car from these forums - it's a 1972 1.7; not original in many respects, but with some nice bits and ripe for a rolling restoration, I suppose. Having walked past it for a couple of (OK, several) years, ...

Gearbox mounts safely received and fitted - many thanks.

And bump.

Urethane gearbox mounts paid for - thank you Wayne.

Why thank you, and hello yourself.

Anyone know this survivor?? Seen at Tatton Park about 5 years ago. http://i279.photobucket.com/albums/kk123/lennyhope/CIMG5214.jpg Does nobody know THIS car? All I know about this 914 is it is a ’73 1.7, first registered in the UK in October 1980. It is still out there being used as it is taxed. No...

Well I hope you're right about these e39 things, as I've just bought: http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z19/swapped_album/530d/530d1.jpg This one! '03 530d SE - I don't know what these come with as standard, TBH, but this one has leather, electric memory seats, front and rear parking radar, auto he...

I've left you a message on your answerphone - please consider the cheap continentals sold.



Carl

Hi Andrew, I'm curious about putting my 914 on taller profile tyres to get back some of my missing ride height - so the cheap set of continentals is appealing as a way to try something close to the correct factory rolling diameter - but where do you get your tyres fitted? Do you have a tame fitter s...

I'm going to have to pass on this, so it's yours to consider.

Can I express an interest in the bonnet, please. I need to measure and see if one fits in either 'normal' car. Where in Mid Wales are you? Carl Near Newtown. What do you need to measure? aren't all bonnets the same one 914s? :) I need to measure my 914 bonnet because it is the only one I have to ha...
