This car is not nearly as nice (or original) as most members here enjoy.
However the local (Houston TX) Porsche dealer asked for my car to be on display on their showroom floor.
So here it is.
Maybe an idea to do this all over the US and improve the NARP-image.



Gonna pick it up soon. Weather is improving, it needs to be driven.

Your car looks great and right at home.

I dunno, that's a pretty great looking 14!

Particularly dig the wheel/tire/fender combo in such a nice color...

You have a drip mat underneath it, right?

I think they parked it where the last 986 with a leaky RMS was—hey, maybe that's why they requested a 914?

Looks great, congrats ! ...wonder if anyone tried to order one....

I would love to see one inside the Porsche dealership close to me.

I've never subscribed to the NARP idea.

The Baron was one of the early cheerleaders for the 914, and if anyone knew what a Porsche was and wasn't, it was the Baron. The man who was responsible for many a Porsche podium on race day, as well as how that win got written up in the newspapers on Monday, is a man who knew a Porsche when he saw one.

Shudda given you a loaner while your car was there.

That's Cool!

As the "Flasher" said: "A little exposure never hurt anyone!"

Cheers Hans Jan!

Great looking car btw.

Great looking cars. Free winter storage.

Don’t you think it could make the new cars less appealing by comparison? Sure, I would take a new 911 if it were offered to me. So I could sell it and buy another 914.
