DDK - Die Deutschen Klassiker

Try Mike Karavasili of RSK - He's more local to you (Kelshall nr Chester) and is the 914 expert. Trouble is I can't find a telephone number for him, but I'm sure someone else will post it........

Is that what you call badge engineering ?

How many nerdie points do I get for spotting that the 2.3 badge is from a Mk 5 C**tina ? None at all - in fact you get 20 minus points because its a genuine Porsche badge (well 2 actually). The base badge is the 2.0 litre 914 badge where the '.0' has been replaced by 2/3 of the upside down 'E' from...

Well Nige, I suppose I could buy another one and start all over again......

I just happen to have some orange paint too, and the Gulf decals!
