The weather for the Portland Parade was perfect, and Portland is a great city with beautiful driving roads. I have many photos of the few 914s I could find at the event. I was hoping to see over fifty 914s,but I guess with the Concours held on a monday I could see it may have been difficult to attend for the westcoast clubs. One surprise was to see another LE BUMBLEBEE in great condition,which was my first in person besides mine,and it happens to have been owned before by the one and only Jeff Bowlsby. So I have some 914 shots I would like to share with all of you.

Nick.

These first photos were taken on saturday at the Red Lion Hotel parking lot. This 914-6 was very impressive,and powerful looking.

This orange 914-6 is a car I saw last year at the Hershey Parade. It was the most complete 914 I saw out in Portland at the concours. These photos are taken at the Red Lion parking lot under a shade tree. The tree played some nice games in the surfaces of this 914-6.

This is the day of the Portland Concours,and this is the first LE BEE I saw in person besides the one I have,so it was a good day for me.

Hey Jeff B. if you are out there, the first thing I noticed about the Bee was the yellow lower looked lighter in color than mine,but thought it might be faded alittle from the west coast sun.

The first car is John Straub's and was built with a complete factory GT kit I think that was purschased from Alan Johnson Porsche back in the day. It has a 3L engine slightly warmed over so it does have a lot of grunt.

Nick those are such excellent photos I will put them on the LE website if you dont mind with photographer credit. Jim Smiths Six looks like an incredible car, I can only hope to see it in person someday. Maybe San Diego if he drives to the Parade like he has in the past.

Thats Carl Latzels LE (from Victoria BC) and it was indeed my first BB, that car started my quest regarding the LE cars. I sold it to Carl about 2.5 years ago and he has done what looks like an incredible restoration to it. Carls good friend Ernie Kowal, also from BC, also has a BB and the two of them regularly do AX battle. Battle of the Bees, but I hear Ernie usually wins... Whatever that yellow color it is now, he has applied it (and the black) so I cannot comment on the color without seeing it personally. It looks a far cry better now than it did then.

It seemed that the few 914s that showed up half were 914-6s,and this one is a real nice example in red.

This 914-6 with the Factory GT kit is a great looking car as you could see parked at the Concours.
