we had a little #4 "tech-session" today hosted by Carl ( (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif) thanks for the coffee)

the amount of "different" and "prototype" is incredible.
some took pictures (not me, so you're going to be lucky) ...

even got my hands on one of the 4 copies of the original 914-8 owners manual (for Ferry Porsche's 914-006).
what a interesting piece of literature !

No question that #4 is special from the earlier pictures posted. This is a milestone car. THE prototype before the other prototypes were built and shown to the world back in '69. There is a photo of the front lens and knurled electric motor in an early owners repair manual I have. The trunk looked to be covered in undercoating. No doubt this was the factory test mule and deserves respect right along with 356 Nr. 1 and the only surving 901 & 902 Porsches that I have seen.
Brad, do this gem justice for us all.
