Anyone notice the caption in the pic below? There are cars with big bumpers, narrow cars with 15-inch Fuchs in various sizes, cars with early and late -4 wheels, a car with black-centered wheels, etc. The truck looks like it might be a bit new, too. Wondering if this is a shot of a Porsche Club France or PCGB transport of private cars to somewhere for an event?

It's high time the 914 got a book like this, and the photos are invaluable—but it's a pity to hear about the 914-4's mechanicals being described as all VW. If you think about it, not a lot separates a 914-4 from a 914-6 other than the obvious (engine) and the brakes/wheels...so I have long considered the mechanicals in both versions far more Porsche than VW. The front suspension is pure 901 in concept, as is the transmission, while the unibody and rear suspension is Porsche's design for the 914 alone—as is plenty of other gear.

Curious for others' view on this.
