Any 914 owners in the Birmingham area?

Post by Canarydelia »

Hi everyone,
New to this forum having bought a '75 914 1.8FI six months ago. Lots of fun through the summer months for sure.

Any other 914 owners in the Birmingham area? Would love to meet up.

Welcome. There are several of us a little further north. I am in Nantwich and there are other guys north of the M56... I also have a 1975 1.8Fi...

Look forward to seeing some pictures of your car.

Thanks Dave and Andrew for your replies. Mine is white...not original colour though. Whereabouts are you Andrew? I live in Harborne. Would certainly enjoy a meet up - I'm always on the look out for tips from those in the know...

TiPEC have asked if they can put my car on their stand at the NEC Classic Motorshow...might be an opportunity to meet up. I will be there on the Saturday and Sunday (15th & 16th).

I'm 90 mins south of you in S. Gloucestershire. But I'm quite a regular on the M42 heading for Birmingham airport, often with the 914. Hopefully catch up sometime.
