Does that sound plausible ???
Urban Knutsson, owner of a '71 914/6 Sporto, writes a letter to the factory asking about the number of 914/6 Sportomatic cars produced ... The reply from Porsche: QUOTE Dear Mr. Knutsson, Thank you very much for your letter of October 10. Referring to the latter and to our phone call of October 9, we herewith inform you that of the type 914/6 Sportomatic we built a total of five cars for experimental purposes. Your car, which is a really rare one, was exported to Sweden in February 1971. In the hope of thus having been of some assistance to you, we remain, Sincerly, Dr. Ing. h.c.F.Porsche Aktiengesellschaft Public Relations - Sports i.V.
