Hi !

Last friday I visited the Retro Classics at Stuttgart.
The fair is huge. 8 halls and a lot of very rare stuff. 914 prices have rized again. 29000 Euros for a restored 17000cc was the cheapest.
I decided to travel light. No camera but only a small Mobius action cam, so I made a video. There was a 916 and a 916 recreation, a sportomatic, a bumblebee ...

Very nice Johannes. You have great skills as a videographer. So much American iron on display, impressive. The closest thing to that kind of display we have here is probably some of the Concours events and possibly the higher quality auto auctions.

here are some of my photos from last saturday at the Retro Classics

very nice idea from the 914-6 Club Germany:
all available standard and special colors for the 914-6 painted on headlight covers
(of course without 98 and 99)



and these are the (4) cars at the 914-6 Club Germany



that's a real 916 in the background ...

some 914-6 for sale
all in the 70 - 80k EUR area ...






that's one rare 914-6 Sportomatic
unfortunately lots of details are not correct/original, but probably not noticable for potential buyers

some 914-4 for sale




an original LE for Jeff (it's already in the registry)

the Goertz 914-6 prototype





cool detail - Goertz used the original rear lights, but upside down

That orange 916 recreation looks fantastic!

Hi Klaus!

to be correct: Claus

Ah yes. I hope his 914/6 harness with Kroon worked out.

Posted by: Johny Blackstain Apr 1 2015, 03:21 PM

I've liked this one too, for a long time. I have a nice orange one, in HO scale, that's quite old & in great shape. If I can get my camera to work I'll post a pic. Thanks for the photo of the 916 clone- it's got me drooling.
