The 40 year old yellow 914 is my 7th yellow car. Helen Goff wants it but Larry needed a new Merc, so now Helen is mad at her hubby because I have IMMACULATE RESURRECTION (my 1970 914) for sale. A Porsche has been in my garage since 1971. 911, Boxster, and 914. I have visited Zuffenhausen. Blessed with racing around the world, I have lots of pals in low places in the auto, moto, and engineering areas. Enjoyed the Barcelona MOTO GP a few weeks ago. Another vice is riding on 2-wheels. Since 1971, a motorcycle or 2 have always been in my garage. Last 2 decades BMW K models. Most recent being the K1200GT with 152 BHP. Married 41 years to my high school prom date, I am a lucky boy.

Hi Rob, nice to see you on DDK.
as you know i have a bit of a weakness for yellow Porsches myself having owned at least 3, and yes your right i would love your 914 as i know how much work has gone into getting this car in first class condition. but i just can't face the hassel and expense of importing it into the UK at this moment in time.
can't say i am too mad with Larry for buying the Merc C-class as it has got to be an improvment on the Vauxhall Signum hes currently driving. the fuel economy & power Merc are getting out of their new diesel engine is unbeatable.

The Oracle would advise; " Thou canst never, ever have too many Yellow Porsches .....".
Get out there and drive the things!!

40 year old IMMACULATE RESURRECTION 914 is an adorable time capsule example of early thought regarding mid-engine. Sitting beside my Boxster they are an interesting pair. Both yellow. Both mid-engine. DNA has an odd way of manifesting itself as time moves forward.

The 1970 yellow 914 left the family for Wisconsin. The new proud owner flew to Cleveland where I met his flight. After a brief meeting at the bank, he drove over 600 miles home in the 40 year old 914 with a smile on his face. No problems.
