The white GT (the first pics) belongs to Jeff Moyes (AFN Guildford)

I have never seen pics of a factory 'flatnose' '14 - didn't look too bad - would be better with big arches but hey I'm biased!

Dug these 914 photos out from the shots I took during the race itself

Great photos, one day i hope that the Robster mobile will look as cool as the signal orange GT (with the dunlop sticker on the front bumper).Thats my long term plan......

kind regards
Robster

Hi Johannes,
the world is just a small place, isn't it?

would you consider making an english version of the french board?
my french is much too bad to go through it

next time I speak to Jeff, I'll ask

the car was hill climbed in period in Austria as I recall - Jeff told me that the original owner wanted a 911 but the factory persuaded him to buy the 914 instead. Jeff bought it minus a few bits and pieces - and used a spare twin plug engine he had.

Ian,

that would be great! I only know of 2 GTs from Austria, both built from the racing division from Porsche Austria (they were well known and really successful in the 70ies).
The first was a 914-4 that was previous raced as a 4-cyl car and then got converted to a full 914-6 GT (by Porsche Austria). This car still sits in Austria.
The second one was a real 914-6 that got converted to a GT. Porsche Austria only ran it one or two races and then sold it. Unfortunately they have no more documents from this time and so it's lost without a trace ...

Would be too cool if this is the white car

Gustl

I will try and find out for you Gustl

Speaking of 914-6 - has anybody got the latest issue of Excellence?

An ornage (with burners) 914-6 Sportomatic! Now, how rare is that - apparently the only one out there!

914-6 Sportomatics are really rare, but there are some.
This spring I saw an original one at the Munich fair:



the guy next to the car (with the blue shirt and the white beard) owns the car for about 30 years - he's the second owner
it's a very early '71 car




AutoAtlanta (Georg Hussey) has one too: 914.1.43.0163

about 2 years ago there was a blue MY'71 for sale in Germany

another orange car (restoration object) sits in Sweden


AFAIK there's no officially proofed number, but most sources name about 25 built 914-6 Sportomatics

Any 914-4 Sportos?

I remember seeing a blue French registered /6 sporto in Beaulieu for the international meet in 02 - they are pretty rare....

Pretty damn sure that the sporto wasn't an option for /4s - would make an interesting project - where's Barry's no.??
