Interesting to see the car has opening rear quarter lights. Was that an option with dp? I’ve always thought they are a great way to get good air passage in the car and find it a shame they don’t exist any more.

It’s was built on a 1977 chassis, last year of opening rear qtr windows! Just like you say, it really helps with airflow through the cabin

When to pick up the 914 and noticed the accelerator pedal was disconnected from the linkage rod. Couldn't press in so used a shoe laces to get home. All back together now. New short seat belt receivers fitt too.Image

It’s easy to retrofit Ian - your car should have the necessary holes in the B pillar - mine did and mines an 87
The simple things you see are all complicated

Thanks Mark, worth looking into then. Although I guess new/used frames and mechanism won’t be inexpensive…..
