I know I am not the first to bring a car from the USA to the UK but its the first time I have imported a car so its something of a journey for me
I asked if any one had a car for sale and would be happy to sell to a UK buyer and the dealing with the shipping company The first to get in touch was Dylan (chi-town) and we have subsequently done a deal on the car he took to the recent WCR. Dylan also put me in touch with someone in Scotland who knows the importing process and he has recommended a shipping company to me and I am in the process of organising the shipping once things are in place stateside. My previous restorations have all been Toyotas mainly Celica gt4's from the late 80's and early 90's so a 1975 Porsche is new territory. I have a 1999 996 so I am not unfamiliar with Porsche or with spanners but the 914 is my first air cooled. Dylan has sent me a number of photos that I will use to mark the start of the journey, adding as things develop and progress. Thanks for reading David |

Is there a pdf of an owners manual any where that can be downloaded?
I dont know what all the controls do or where they are to be found - sorry (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blush.gif) for example, what does the lever with the brown handle on the transmission tunnel do (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) just a diagram of the cabin with the controls labelled would be a start (IMG:style_emoticons/default/newhere.gif) |

Yours must have faded to brown. You need Dr. 914 Book TECH TIPS 700 A complete guide to the VW-Porsche 914 By George A Hussey Congrades and you new used car. Cheers Bob B |
