I found two webpages created by the person who owns Klie's 914 and the original 1/5 model.
Heinrich Klie is the guy who actually designed the 914 and the Fuchs wheel ... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif)

This is what I come up with....

My infinite 914 history (part of 1 1999) as I at the beginning of the 90's after long starting time as 914 fan to my first restoration object, did not know I came yet that this was the at the beginning of a long history. After I delivered center 1993 my meanwhile second 914 building site due to the no longer existing spare time (sideline study) to Dutch enthusiasts, I thought that war`s, but it should come differently. Already 14 days later I discovered with a stay in Munich on the occasion of a hospitalization of my youngest son, an interesting sales announcement 914 in the old timers market. The reference of the salesman to the history of the vehicle let me listen attentively. It was the car of the 914 of designer Heinrich Klie, from the year of construction 1971 with Erstzulassung 1974. The car had to exhibit some characteristics, which it probably as unique piece to represent, so e.g. a changed instrument panel (see into "large Volkswagen Porsche the book" page 25). The vehicle served from 1971 to 1974 in the Design design-Studio from Porsche to study purposes and by Mr. Klie privately was then taken over. Of course I took the car then also with home. Unfortunately a tear in the left prevented me! Rear axle admission to a summer to further 914 drive. In me remaining spare time during the study I tried then, everything over "mean" 914 to experience. Of the Porsche Classic GmbH I experienced that Mr. Klie lived his well-deserved retirement somewhere "in the area Goettingen". A search over the telephone CD finally brought end to 1997 desired success, from approx.. 20 Klie's was natural the last correct. Mr. Klie appeared very pleased that still its it existed to 914 (whom he had continued to give to 1983 at his nephews). After some telephone and brieflichen contacts I visited then the childless family Heinrich Klie in Goettingen. I was received cordially from both and it began an active maintenance over the 914, the companies Porsche and the work of the Mr. Klie. Absolute coronation/culmination of my attendance with the Klie's was i.e. a gift of Mr. Klie to me, a 1:5 model 914 of a study (see in "large Volkswagen Porsche the book" page 22) from the Porsche Design studio. With two further attendance the contact was intensified, so that I beside many Insiderinformationen also still some at documents e.g. old Porsche Christopherus of booklets and rare Maerklin 1:43 models given got. Unfortunately Mrs. Klie in the late summer deceased 1998, Mr. Klie followed it in the spring 1999 at the gesegneten age of 85. I remember still today gladly the nice and informal Zusammensein with the family Klie! In the meantime the "Klie is 914" with me in work and the drawers also restored parts becomes ever fuller, but it will last probably still another whole time, until it is to be seen again on the road, because occupation and particularly my family stand in the first place.

No, i have to dig through my notes, but i believe it was build on a '71 chassis.

This was a in-house test mule used by Klie to try out new ideas.
