Yesterday I went out for a cruise in the teener and while I was stopped at a light a grasshopper LE went by!! He pulled into a gas station at the corner by the light. I was in the left turn lane and by the time I got turned around and back to the gas station it was gone. I'm no expert at authenticity so I couldn't tell if it was genuine or not at a glance but it was definately white with that lime green trim. The kicker is that I actually thought about bringing my camera along but didn't. Rest assurred I will always have my camera with my in that neck of the woods from now on. If I happen by that car again and get some good pics, maybe I'll auction them off on ebay (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) Sorry about the missed oppertunity, Jeff (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

Hey Curvie...thats really encouraging news! The fact that you at least spotted the Grasshopper LE is good news in and of itself. So we now have the best clue yet that there is at least one still on the road. A knowledgeable person recently told me he thought there may have been 150 Grasshoppers built. Its all speculation at this point.
What city/state did you see it? Male or female driver? Maybe it doesn't come out of the garage much and its has just come out of hibernation. Maybe one of our 914 CLub members is local to the area and can begin asking around at the local repair garages? If its a small town, maybe event eh copy shops with a photos of the car (print it from the LE website)? We need to find this car, and its only a matter of time until we do. Our WW 914-Spotters Network, the WW914SN, is alive and well... I am glad to say. Lets all take a vow to carry a camera everywhere we go...
