Just curious if there are any other original owners of 914's out there? It was my first car and I've had it since Dec 1970... it will never leave the family as my boys will fight over it when I'm long gone.

I've had many Porsches over the years but the 914 is still my sentimental favourite.... (the silver one is my first, the red a gift from the widow of a dear friend who died way too early... we used to autocross against each other back in the 70's...)

 

Great story. Once again, welcome to 6speed! More pics please.

 

OK from your name you'll like this one...

 

And one of the garage, though a couple in the picture are no longer in the family...

 

And one of the race car- maybe not German, but it's the right colour combo!!

 

Now that I see your garage, I remember you from Rennlist. I think we chatted there as well.

 

Is that a GTI in the background?

 

No, it's a Phaeton.

 

Haha.. .you never know, could be a 337... could be an R32 with GTI front bumper... =)

 

But 337's and R32's are still GTi's, no?

 

My son's GTI 337... good eyes.

 

I suppose... technically... yes..


but I don't like to think of an R32 as a GTI.. it has a different name =)

 

I am (an original owner). I realize technically I don't own it yet (too young), but it means just as much to me.

 

Yes,, still have it... in cherry condx ... AutoXross and waiting for the kids to enjoy... 1st gear is a little hard to engage but will build strong arms and ... hey! it's a Porsche!
