914World.com _ 914World Garage _ asking Canadiens for a favour
Posted by: Gustl Aug 20 2010, 02:59 PM
As I'm told, this Matchbox Porsche 914 on the picture is especially for the Canadien market.
I pointed out the "specialities" to make it easy to identify: 
Would anybody of our Canadien members be so kind to get me one (ore more - up to four would be fine) ??
Of course I would pay for the expences !!
I'd be very happy to add this one to my collection ...
Just send me PM or Mail

Sure looks like the U.S. version. I'm not sure if mine says Lila.
Posted by: AZ914 Aug 20 2010, 03:52 PM
Huh.. my US version doesn't say LILA, the stripe on the side is gray, and it says 'Heritage Classics' over 'Porsche 914'. The physical car looks the same.

Wolfgang...any idea where these are for sale in Canada?
I'd look in my city if I knew where to look!!!

I'm going to wallymart (and bi-way) right now back in about two hours, I'll report back tonight.

I found 2 of these at my local supermarket. 2 different shades of green. They were a whopping 1.29 each. They don't say "Lila" on them but they do say Porsche 914, and 16/100. Maybe these are not what Wolfgang is looking for!!!

Sorry, too funny ... "Lila" is the German word for purple.
I think Gustl was trying to point out the color of the stripe and not some additional lettering.

it is just like the one i bought in California at target. Lila and everything
Posted by: Mark Henry Aug 20 2010, 07:32 PM
No luck...and I wanted one. 
Posted by: nsr-jamie Aug 20 2010, 09:24 PM
I think he is saying Lila is the color, the US version is grey and says Heritage classic on them, the cars are the same, just the package is slightly different. I bought my Canadian cars in Vancouver, BC when I was there in February at the Surrey Walmart, they were very cheap like 1.50 or so...I hope you can get them Gustl
Posted by: MikeM Aug 20 2010, 09:37 PM
Mark...try Superstore. I found 2 of them there today.
I'll send them to Wolfgang if he wants them.

Gawd,
Canadian beer to Europe????
You Canadians really ought to get out more. Lots of really good beer in Europe.
Gustl, be careful if they try to feed you fries and gravy...
It's a Canadian thing......

AndyI even speak some German and had no clue on that. I thought there was some fine print or something!
Posted by: MikeM Aug 21 2010, 01:04 PM
I'd like to point out that it wasn't a Canadian that suggested sending beer to Europe. We know better than that.
Cheers

Hey Upstate NY is like South Canada. I may live in Florida now, but you Canucks will always have a special place in my heart.
Posted by: Mark Henry Aug 21 2010, 06:40 PM
That's not a pic of fries and gravy, that's poutine.
Upstate NY like south Canada...Ooookay...

Gustl,
Found this today. I bought TWO. Did you want one? It's not Canadian.....
But it's something different.
Mark

Gustl, Did you get enough positive reponses? I rec'd one as a gift a few weeks ago and understand it was purchased at a local supermarket. If you still need a couple or even one I will go there and get it for you.

I have some, in both of the car colours. I would be happy to share.

It is in the mail.....10 days should see a new home.
Hope it's something that's cool for your collection. US Postal talked me into shipping this in a big padded envelope to save almost half on shipping. If it doesn't make it I will ship another in a box, my cost.

Wolfgang and all other model collectors,
You may already be aware of these vendors, but if not you can find various 914 models on these two sites. Do a search for Porsche 914 and you should find several models.
These are resin and metal collector kits so if you are not familiar with these you may be surprised with the price. But as we know, 914's are not really cheap!
