I have watched the Steve McQueen movie lemans many times and just noticed the 914 in the opening segment of the start. after they show the start and the prototypes they show a segmet of the rest of the field and I do believe i see a 914 or 2. am i wrong and if not who's the car belong to. and is there photo's.

I watched it again this summer....what really stood out to me was the very slow "tonk...tonk...tonk...tonk" of the wheel change air wrenches during the pit stops...slower than the driver's heartbeat while waiting....waiting.....waiting... |
