In the past, several member on here have asked what they could tow for camping with their 914.
Well how about this little Pucker!? They were designed with VW's help back in 1957, to be easily towable by VW Beatles (25 hp back then), Isettas, Minis, etc., etc. So they're definitely Porsche Towable!   & VW of course!          ... pay attention to this last one, see it below. or with a ....    Okay, you get the idea! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) I'd always just tent camped out of my `73 914-2.0 when she was my DD 1775-85, & I don't know that I'd want to put a hitch on mine when restored - but I could & do just fine with this Puck. Well .... we picked up another toy yesterday! I know, I know .... it's "Repetitively Redundant" towed with a Westy full camper, but think of it as a guest house for the grandkids! Also, since it's a 1970, it's eligible for the vintage trailer events which we go to (the Westy is too young!), we can go with this, & since it's small car towable, we can tow it with the Westy, & with the 85 325e & 914-2.0 - if I put hitches on them. 1970 Eriba Puck (German made Export mode &l finished fitting-out in CA with the CA-HCD RV/Trailer Approval Plate), 12' L (10' L box) x 5.5' W, 660 lbs empty, 70 lbs hitch wt. - sleeps 2-3 at dinette made into bed, 2 burner LP stove, Icebox (some had the optional 3-way fridge), sink & +/-10 gal. fresh water tank, center pop-top lifts for standing room & donw to fit in a normal ht. garage. Our new Baby - mostly original:     So we'll take the Lil' Pucker for her own inaugural trip with us ]to Puck around the weekend before Thanksgiving for a group camp out with other vintage trailer buddies. Wife is happy now! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cheer.gif) Cheers! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) Tom /////// |

These were the Puck & Familia + VW combos which we saw a few years ago, which started us on this search ....
Splitty with early 60's Puck at Malamut Museum 2015 - ... but the Gal showing it was kinda "Stiff"!     . `58 Bug with larger Familia at Ocean Mesa Vintage Trailer Rally 2016 -  . Bay Window with Puck also at Ocean Mesa Vintage Trailer Rally 2016 -  . Also, when that $186K+/- one near the top of my last post went on auction with Barrett -Jackson a little before the above 3 (2012) -   ... odd color change on this last pic, cuz the Bus & Puck were clearly an Aqua color, which is one of my wife's fav colors. .
