I just returned from a trip to Germany and was able to go to the Porsche Museum and look at both the 914 & 917 50th Anniversary displays. I was not impressed with the 914 display. One section of it was on the main floor and there were only a few cars displayed and they were hidden behind a half wall. The other section was in a service/restoration area between the souvenir shop and the open area snack shop. It had 6 or 7 cars on display, but you couldn’t access that area and the cars were very poorly displayed. Pictures had to be taken through the glass wall and the fluorescent lighting left a bit to be desired.
Anyway, I have the description of the cars in one photo and then the pictures of the referenced car follow. The link to my Google album follows: https://photos.app.goo.gl/7DmSqRBcKDZuJRxp6 Enjoy Steve If anyone is interested in the other display, the 917 display was awesome. The cars are obviously well lit and displayed where you can go right up to them and visit. I have the description of the cars in one photo and then the pictures of the referenced car follow. I have added a couple of additional pictures of non 917 cars at the end. The link to my Google 917 album follows: https://photos.app.goo.gl/F3iJspSqjK2q9sVT8 |

Thank you very much for doing this, too bad Porsche still does not care much for the 914. Also surprised that they would display a customer modified car. I guess that they will add a chevy v-8 or suburu powered 914 next? Porsche Atlanta headquarters will have a purer display starting July 14th and running for six months.

Damn George, I didn't know you had such disdain for modified 914s. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) I think it is great they showed a non-factory modified car. Not all your customers have stock 914s. |
