Hello - 914

Post by flatsix777 »

An introduction is long overdue (apologies) but I've only just acquired an early Porsche, a 72 914. I live in South West London and have had impact bumpers for many years, currently an 84 930. I also have a couple of air cooled VWs. My 914 is a 1.7 and is original less bits of paint over the years. It was brought in from California in 2010 and hasn't been used since, just 266 miles. The history is fantastic; a Doctor bought it from Roger-Penske Porsche in Allentown for $4,647.33, trading a 66 912. He sold it after 20 years to a chap in Santa Barbara who sold it in 2007 to a local lady. Then it came to UK.

It's not perfect by any means but it's mainly suffering from a lack of use so I need to sort a few things out. Looking forward to learning more about 914s!

Cheers
David
