it's a historic rallye that 1st took place in 1971

in this video there's a lot of 914 content

most significant participiants:
Björn Waldegaard - Porsche 914-6 GT
Walter Röhrl - Ford Escort 1600 TC
Ake Andersson - Porsche 911 (green)
Joseph Reip - Porsche 914-6 M471 (yellow GT conversion)

the german speaking moderator just explains who's who and what's historic rallye in general - nothing interesting

I especially liked the tail-dragger doing what tail-draggers do best.

Hallo,

bitte gestattet dass ich, etwas verspätet, auf diese Einstellung reagiere.
Begründung:

Nicht mein 914-6 GT ist eine "conversion" sondern das von Waldegaard eingesetzte.

Meiner ist ein originales Fz. aus der GT-Liste.
Und es ist sogar wahrscheinlich weltweit der einzige GT bei welchem durch bestimmte Merkmale nachgewiesen ist dass es sich dabei auch wirklich um das originale Fahrzeug handelt. Bei allen anderen GT's, ob echt oder nicht, sind diese Details nicht mehr vorhanden. Zu gründliche Restaurationen haben diese wertvollen Punkte unwiederbringlich vernichtet.

Hi there,

please allow me, somewhat belatedly, to react to this attitude.
Reason:

Not my 914-6 GT is a "conversion" but the one used by Waldegaard.

Mine is an original vehicle from the GT list.
And it is probably the only GT in the world that has been proven by certain features that it is really the original vehicle. For all other GT's, whether real or not, these details are no longer available. Restorations that are too thorough have irretrievably destroyed these valuable points.

greeting
