DDK - Die Deutschen Klassiker

I've never owned a 914 before (& only ever driven a couple - many years ago) so I decided to buy one...

Just bought the following car in the States - here are some brief details:

Originally a '74 2.0 model, it has been continually developed over the past 13 years by its previous owner.

Current spec is:

2.5 litre short-stroke twin-plug engine on Webers developing 214 bhp at the rear wheels (on headers & megaphones)

Rebuilt close-ratio 901 gearboxwith Rennshift short-shift (latest version incorporating reverse lock-out)

Uprated F&R suspension & Carrera 3.2 brakes

Factory chassis-stiffening kit & boxed trailing arms

Fuchs 7&8 x 15" wheels

914/6 GT- style bodywork with flares/ carbon fibre bonnet/grp engine lid

Full Safety Devices bolt-in rollcage with extensions

Fuel Safe fuel cell with s/s braided hoses

The car was built as a race/track car by its previous owner who is a well-known race car instructor (including working for Skip Barber) & it has competed at Watkins Glen/Sebring/etc.

I'm not overkeen on the paint scheme but that's a minor point...

Nice one. Paint is indeed grim but that engine makes up for it

Andy, well done. Looking forward to seeing yet another of your interesting collection

Crikey - nice engine!

nice,

still trying to work out how they have fitted that engine in..



BTW whats with the Welsh Dragon logo on the front wing?

Congratulations Andy, will that be noisier than the 911?

Welcome to the fold .

Hey Andy - where is it? I'm happy to run it around here for a while for you until you get it shipped

ANDY !! buy your 2 pk paint NOW and keep it to one side better in Two pack than nancy water based rubbish..come Jan 2007

I've stocked up on silver black and etch primers.

Nice car BTW.. you need a 914 number plate who's got one of them I wounder

so did the tow bar and trailer come with it?

your collection's getting ruder by the minute, Andy

looks like a whole lot of fun...look forward to seeing it in the flesh

Wow thats a cool car... I am sure once you have repainted it your going to love it even more. The engine is awesome.

Andy you have the coolest cars...

Now that is awesome Andy, congratulations, you don't do things by halves do you

you do know that if you repaint it, it's gotta be black

Look forward to seeing that badboy when it arrives.

Well done Andy - when does it arrive??
