Whenever I read books about the 914, the authors always mention some designs that preceded the 914 from the same firm that did the body design. I don't know if these were rough sketches, or what. I sure would like to see what these proto-teeners looked like. Some go so far as to say that one design was actually shown at a car show or fair, and that the actual 914 didn't come out as good as the sketches. If anyone has a scan or any info on this, please post.

Thomas, look for the thread on VIN 004 under Classic Threads in this BBS. This is a real car and we will see alot more of it in the near future.
Prepare to be amazed. There are also some prototype photos on my 'collectibles' website at the link below. |

oh, and also, on the original dual-headlight design, you had a grill similar to the fog-light grill where one headlight was visible when the lights were down, so you could flash your highbeams without having to raise the lights...
