Thoroughbred & Classic Cars Article on 914s, In the March Issue Options

[motorvated]

Great British classic car magazine that usually is very detailed and accurate with their write-ups. March issue has a piece where they drive a 1.7 and a 2.0 liter four, and they talk about the six. Since the 914 never was sold in right hand drive, not many made it into Great Britain, so their research and reporting seems a little thin. I'm sure the savvy World crew can find fault with the cars tested and some of the information in the article, but it's still an interesting read. Barnes & Noble carries the magazine, at least the ones in Denver do.

Actually, the UK importer (name escapes me now) did do some really clean RHD 914 conversion for the UK, & the 914-2.0 was sold as the 914SC there. There was another group downunder doing the RHDs for OZ & NZ in that Brit Commonwealth market.

You can google for RHD 914s etc. & they'll come up. IIRC there's an older thread on here too about them.

VW/Porsche & Karmann did make provisions in the 914 des9gn for RHD, so the conversions were easier.

maybe some of our UK, OZ & Kiwi members will chime in here to add to the RHD story.
