Porsche 914/6 Conversion
Posted: Mon Sep 17, 2007 11:56 pm
Hello all, the time has come to sell the beast.
As a few of you will know, I have been doing this car on and off, for a few years now. It is still not finished, but does not really have that much left to do. The paint is far from perfect but looks presentable from 15 yards away! I have listed below most of the details but please do let me know if you need anymore info. Thanks!
· 1973 914 1.7 imported from San Francisco (Still have original engine – also for sale)
· Now fitted with 2.2T engine with Webers and Lumenition Optronic ignition. Engine supplied by Alan.uk. Recent top end rebuild by MB Engineering, engine installation by BS Motorsport.
· Recon gearbox fitted. (Still have original – also for sale) Supplied by davidppp.
· 3.2 struts, vented disks and ‘S’ aluminium calipers up front.
· Rear hubs drilled by Barrie at Martin and Walker.
· Patrick Motorsport headers. OEM silencer.
· Patrick Motorsport Oil tank – brand new.
· Aeroquip oil lines.
· Currently running on Yokohama A032 race tyres. (Road legal)
· Momo steering wheel.
· PLEASE NOTE: Fuchs wheels are not included in sale. Dad wants them for race car. Cookies currently being sourced as replacement.
Bodywork is in fairly good shape, though battery tray area was corroded – subsequently removed. Battery now resides in rear compartment. Slight scabbiness on front scuttle. Small blisters elsewhere on car.
Paint has micro blistered and will need doing, though it has been like that for a while now. Stickers are easily removed if you decide they’re not to your taste! I won’t be offended!
To be honest, I’m not really into the show and shine side of Porsche ownership, I prefer to drive the car! It has taken me to Le Mans and back three times without so much as a hiccup, followed my Dad to the various circuits of Britain to help with his racing and even served as my daily driver for a while in London! It goes like stink, sounds awesome and gets admiring/confused looks wherever it goes. (I can never tell!)
This car has cost me more than £12k, though I realise that I am not going to get anywhere near that! I should like somewhere in the region of £8k, but I’m open to sensible offers. The car will be going on Ebay in the next day or two, so if you’re interested, please do give me a shout.
Thanks
Mark
