914/6 my new car

Post by saxon »

Picked up my new porsche on Tuesday from Chester it's a 914/6 conversion
1971 running on a 1969 2.0 litre MFI 170 bhp S engine 901 side shift gear box
up rated brakes and suspension, the drive back to Colchester was fantastic
the car is a real blast to drive and very quick and it really does stick to the road :)

It looks great, and ought to be fun with the 2 litre S engine.

Enjoy it! :albino:

Nice one, Peter!

It looks lovely, I've been waiting all week for the photos :wink: .

What's the colour? It looks similar to my 912 (on this monitor).
