			 As the title suggests, post your 914 if it is even close to 100% original, as delivered.  Post copious text and pics, so the others can use as a benchmark.

			 The car seems to change its shade of beige depending the lighting conditions.  Although a couple of beige 914's have recently appeared (all pre 1973) this is the only Sahara Beige 914 known to exist.
