Welcome to DDK. There are a few 914's for sale at the moment, what sort of spec are you after - year, engine, etc?

Also, do you remember the reg for your old 914.

Thanks for the welcome guys,is,sit have you posted some pics of your 912?
abm914 -I never got round to registering the 914 and can't remember what reg number the guy has put on it i have asked if i can buy it back but doesn't want to part with it i will have to make sure he registers here next time i see him,
regards a 914 i am looking for one probably around 4k or may be tempted with a project (depends how complete it is) not to bothered about spec just want good original car year would prob be 74-76 or a 72 for free tax lets just say any.Infact the car i really wanted was the one derek has just sold as love 914's in white, Helen was just way to quick It had everything on it i wanted and looked great. so if any one can find me one just like that i will be happy.
have been looking about bringing over from the states someone is going over there in march who knows his 914's said he could get one if i interested.

yes i sure is pretty. and in pretty good condition too. just wish i could get it started.

bought it for a bit of fun and to enjoy the 914 community.. but since i joked about putting stripes on it its refused to start. pretty sure its nothing serious but it'll have to wait till i have stopped playing with my 356

make me an offer ..you never know i might let i go

Welcome Dave, good luck with the search. There's been a quite a bit of new interest in the 914 of late which is great to see. Several new members joining in just the last few weeks.

Sorry don't know of anything for sale at the moment in your price range but they do tend to appear every now and again. So hopefully you'll be able to give one a home soon.

love 914's in white

Couldn't agree more!
