Did anybody see this 1975 914 1.8 go through the auction either in person at the auction or on cable?
It went for $30,800. Worth it? Condition in person? Comments?

I wouldn't pay $30k for a 1.8 with carbs, but that's just me.

There were 6 or 7 914's in that Kissimee auction. I watched 2 or 3 cross the block. Normally, they skip over the 914's and go to commercial, so I was pretty stoked to see a few cross the block on cable. The Brumos 914 didn't make TV, but it was preceded by 3 Ferrari's in a row, including a 92' F-40 and an 04' Enzo. The Enzo went for $4.1 million plus fees. I didn't see this Orange 914 cross.

How did the other 914's fare?
