With the assistance of my new business partner boxstr (Craig Laughlin) we commissioned the artist in Amsterdam to create this porcelain 914 shape for us. The eBay listing last week was just a marketing test. (Check out the eBay add for supersize photos) It is very commendable that several of you stated that you would not bid against a fellow club member. All of our friends here a 914World.com now have first option on these limited edition models. Only 100 pieces will ever be produced.

This 914 is 4 3/4 inches long and is very high quality. It is truely sensous to look at and hold fondle. They are signed on the bottom by the artist and come with an individually numbered certificate of authenticity.

The price for the general public will be $60 plus $5 shipping. The price for our friend here is based on your membership number. We wanted to reward the long time member of our favorite web site. (OK, here is the tricky part if you are math challenged.) Take a base price of $45. Add your 914 Club member number. (It is below your name and avatar on every post you make.) Add $5 for shipping. This equals your total cost.
Example - If I wanted to buy one:
$ 45.00
+$ 4.81 Member number
+$ 5.00 shipping
$ 54.81 + Total Cost

As of yet only a few have been produced. We will not be able to ship any for a month or so. Place your reservation here so you are not left out on this once in a lifetime offer. I will let you know when I have them ready to ship. Please do not pay until then. Limit one per customer at the club discount price.

For right now these are only available in black. Near the end of the production run we have arranged for a few to be made in a rainbow of colors. If you want one of the colored models, let me know.

There will also be a few of the large models available soon. The size on these is 17 inches long. The cost will be $250 plus shipping. I don't know about colors other than black at this time. If you want to reserve one - tell me now.

i'm early enough in the membership roster that i actually do get a bit of a break, i guess...

i'm definitely in for one. i prefer yellow (to match my Canary factory /6) and don't mind waiting for it (in fact, i prefer to...) but if there should be any problem with that i'd happily take a black one.

if i -do- wind up with a black one, i'd like #47. pls advise on what's possible ...

thanks !

I didn't even read the entire post yet. Sign me up! I have to have one.

OK, I read the offer. Guess I need to ad .20?

Thanks!

Actually John, I'd rather have a big one than a small one. Is that ok?

Posted by: Qarl Jan 24 2004, 03:25 PM

I'll take a yellow one.... if yellow will not be available, then a black one is fine.

Thanks.

I'll take a larger one too.

Thanks.

VegasRacer,

Sign me up for one.

Posted by: GWN7 Jan 24 2004, 04:41 PM

Can I reserve #7?

I'm in. For 1

Thanks

Posted by: markb Jan 24 2004, 04:56 PM

COOL!!

I'd like to reserve a small one and a large one. Black is fine. I'd probably be out of line asking for #4, wouldn't I?

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

Posted by: seanery Jan 24 2004, 04:59 PM

I'd prefer a different color for the big one if that's possible, like white or red, don't care for the blue, but black is ok if those aren't available.

Posted by: 914rick Jan 24 2004, 07:13 PM

I would like to reserve one of the larger ones. Yellow would be perfect, if not, black will be fine.
Thanks,
Rick

Posted by: robby750 Jan 24 2004, 08:17 PM

I would like one please. Thank you very much.

Posted by: mseiferth Jan 24 2004, 09:14 PM

I would also like one.

Thanks

Posted by: Rgreen914 Jan 24 2004, 09:19 PM

Will the large ones be available in colors other than black? If so, I would like one in "Ravenna" green...(like that's gonna happen).

Posted by: 415PB Jan 24 2004, 09:32 PM

I will gladly take one. Thanks

Posted by: BarberDave Jan 25 2004, 04:35 AM

I am in for the small one also. Black is the only color GOD intended a car to be. " Henry Ford"

I would like a small black one, pleeeeze.

And thank you for your effort and grief.

Posted by: seanery Jan 29 2004, 12:03 PM

I just got mine, they are very nice!

Posted by: JmuRiz Jan 29 2004, 12:56 PM

Are they really small in person?

Posted by: mikerose Jan 29 2004, 02:24 PM

I am in for one

Posted by: 1973914 Jan 29 2004, 02:28 PM

i would like a small black for my father (he has a black six but is computer illiterate) and a small yellow (to go with my car) if at all possible. If not possible, just sign me up for one for my dad in black. Cool item!

Posted by: VegasRacer Jan 29 2004, 02:39 PM

I expect to get the next batch of small ones in about a month. (colored ones will be a little longer)

I will do the best I can to fill everybodys special request on colors for the big ones - but I can not guarantee it. There is a large % of the big ones that do not survive the process. The first time I ordered 4. The artist made 6. Only 2 survived. He will not sell any that are not perfect.

I have just now found out that the artist is also willing to make some of his earlier large scale pieces. There are a couple styles of 356's plus a 550. Sorry no photos for now. E-mail me if you are interested.

The small ones are almost 5 inches long. The big ones are 17 inches.

(repeat of PM)

Hi - please put me down for 2 small ones and one large one.

Ideally I'd like
1 - small black (as pictured)
1 - small signal orange
1 - large signal orange

But I'll take any colors. I can pay via paypal anytime, just let me know.

Thanks,
Steve

I would like a small one in orange if possible to match my '73, thanks, Fred

I'd like one small car.....no big deal on color or number....thanks

Posted by: etars Feb 7 2004, 09:34 AM

I'm interested in a large one

Posted by: VegasRacer Feb 25 2004, 04:42 PM

Just a update to let everybody know that the next batch of porcelain teeners is on the way from Holland. They should be here in a week or so. If you have posted a request I will be sending you a PM as soon as I get them. I will be getting a few each of the colored small ones plus a couple of the big ones. Thanks for your patience. I promise when you get one in your hands, you will agree it was worth the wait.

If you have not done so yet, post your reservation request here.

Posted by: VegasRacer Feb 25 2004, 05:26 PM

Im not sure if they have Cosco in Holland.

Here are the what big models look like in yellow and red.

is my name on one of those? that red sure looks nice!

Posted by: VegasRacer Feb 25 2004, 06:04 PM

You are at the top of the list for the large size models.
Consider the red one yours.

Posted by: seanery Feb 25 2004, 06:23 PM

WOOHOO!!!!

Posted by: markb Feb 25 2004, 11:33 PM

Could I get my large one in a dark blue? Those look awsome!

Posted by: Rgreen914 Feb 26 2004, 01:54 AM

I still want a large one in Ravenna Green...if that's possible!

Posted by: Gint Feb 26 2004, 06:22 AM

VegasRacer,

I still want one of the smaller models as I indicated early on. As much as I like the true artsy look of the black, I think I see a small orange model in one of your pics. That would be my first choice if possible since it would match my car, with black being second on the list. I realize it may not happen that way, but I thought I'd take the opportunity to throw a preference out there.

Thanks!

I'll take a black one (small)
