Great pictures! I think Piech is in one of those... nice collection of 914's on rollers!
Wish I could find the pictures from when my wife and I toured the factory in the spring of 1982. Unfortunately I remember it well as it was just after Gilles Villeneuve had his fatal accident at Zolder... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) |

... question for the experts (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
About the 914 picture, seeing the state of assembly, could these be all 6's coming from the Karmann factory awaiting for their 6 cylinders at Porsche factory? |

Those all must have been 914-6's in the photo since they were on moving carts awaiting their engines and transmissions to be installed, instead of on an assembly line.
