I have a question for Mr Hoyland...

Your car is an exquisite example of what Porsche could have done had they wanted to.

Your car is world class IMO but I would think it would not do well at a concours as it is so seriously modified from stock.

Is this still so or are they now accepting appropriately modified cars?

Great!, let’s see if we can get a turnout of 914s; its such an easy drive for LA and OCR's
I'm entering as display only. But you can street park for free too and check out the event

Hope to see some old and new friends.

Pretty fun event. Met new folks and heard really fun stories.
914-6 owner. Got his 6 for their 50th wedding anniversary. Had a 1971 914-4 from dealer but was in an accident while parked in the early 80s. Always wanted a 6 but was out of budget back then.


Original owner of 1973 914-4. Always had an itch for speed. Raced many cars in the 70’s in Detroit. still sporting a 4 but had his motor rebuilt in TRE motor sports and supposedly over 3.0 in displacement. As he says, he have 20 gorillas in his motor.


I think the owner is a 914 world member but wasn’t able to connect. Beautiful car!


Some of the aircooled beauty. Forgot to take a photo of a nice 912.
