So how many present 914 owners come from Nothern Ireland, then? As far as I know, Isaac Agnew only sold one, Yellow of course, reg something like FOI 1010. My brother owned it for a while a few years ago. I'm originally from Dunadry, and the "other half" is from Holywood!

Cheers

I know the problem! I went from a 914/4 which did over 30 on a run to a 1969 2litre 911S on mechanical injection, which never did 20 mpg, even on a run to Aberdeen! Luckily petrol wasn't quite as expensive in 1980 as now! My hillclimb 911 when I last drove it on the road would use a full tank to do ...

Civilisation is obviously percolating east from the Celtic fringes, then. 4 or 5 copies on the shelf in Liskeard.............. Interested in your comments in PP about the mpg, Rob.

Trouble is , when KS, Betty Stoggs and I meet, it's usually too late and dark to see even a Yellow 914.............................

Could well have broken the plastic lever that connects the hand throttle lever to the main accelerator rod. After 30+ years they get brittle and break, as I discovered last year!

Bhp on rolling roads can vary greatly depending where you take it. Some flatter to deceive.......... For what it's worth (!), I've had a couple of 2.1 type 4 engines. One in my old 914, based on the standard 1.7, but with a hotter cam and twin SuperVee Solexes, which went really well - beat several ...
