Here's a pic of it "in the wild' a few years ago at a Reeves C&C.

One of my favorite cars, but I'm not going to sell the house to buy it

Great looking car, what is the story on the black stripes? Did that come from factory or someone just added livery back in the day?

Erich the graphic designer for Porsche back in the day added them. Erich created so many of the cool advertising posters and literature brochures in the sixties and seventies.

It belonged to Erich Strenger ...
And, how's this for prominence?
"...In the spring of 1972, 0233 was used as a camera car at the Nürburgring Nordschleife to film a commercial introducing the 1973 914 2.0. The M471 shared the track with three 914-6 GTs, filming them as they circulated. It’s likely the car was in Strähle’s hands at the time. Photos indicate the black stripes and larger wheels had been added by then.."

I had a blast pointing it out to unaware attendees at Reeves C&C's. "...wanna see a super rare mid-six figure 914-6 M471?" "NO WAY!!" "Way..."

"roof brace bolted between the windshield frame and the targa bar"
Anyone reproducing these?
Posted by: JmuRiz Dec 15 2023, 10:22 PM
I wish there was an easy retrofit…I have a spare roof

George notified me a few days ago that the car was going on the market. Hope it goes to a good home. I assume it will. Everyone knows what that car meant to me, so no need for me to repeat. Some may wonder if I ever recovered from seeing the car being driven away. It’s been nearly 2 years now since I sold the car. Well….. I must admit that I still quite often have that feeling like there’s something missing. And now seeing it for sale so quickly kind of ignited the emotions. Friends and people that know me well understand.

914rrr-
Thanks for posting link to Excellence article. Fills in the blanks for the less “educated “ amongst us ( me for one).

whats the bet it ain't worth what it was worth the last time it was sold.
interesting photo of it sitting in front of a post war modernist house with palm trees.
got me searching through my architectural texts trying to work if that house was designed by a cult figure long gone west coast architect.
couldn't come up with anything. but the car and the house go together in a fabulous nostalgic modern world way.
great car.
love the black stripes.

Erich had them on the car and Steve put them on after the car was painted

Well if George is brokering the sale, we shouldn’t have to ask.

Indeed but he is being "coy" for some reason there? He has not outright said he is involved in the deal unless I missed it.

I meant there should be a bit more disclosure. If he’s brokering the sale, then this is an ad that should include a price. If he’s just a cheerleader that’s not financially involved in the sale, then it’s just a discussion.
