Can we pool some dough together? I’ll take her every other Tuesday. When I saw it at Luft last year, the seats were worn and ripped up. I’m sure it was quite a hardship trying to find that fabric.* A few pics added for the lazy: (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i.imgur.com-23209-1596798806.1.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i.imgur.com-23209-1596798807.2.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i.imgur.com-23209-1596798807.3.jpg) *P.S. While digging I found a SpeedHunters article with some great photos showing the wear in the seats, they look the same in the RMS photos - So I suppose the fabric was not replaced. |

This car is very much the real deal, and has had some exceptional caretakers along the way. Will be curious to see how it does, and hope the new owner will exercise it—as the 916 I drove was a lovely, balanced thing. The steel roof, 2.4S MFI, and 915/916 gearbox indicated what Porsche wanted to change a couple of years into the 914-6 program and after racing and rallying the platform in the world's best events. But alas…
There's no question Porsche made the right "business" decision in nixing the 916 and producing the RS 2.7…for so many reasons. This admitted even if I'll always be more of a 914 guy than a 911 guy. Had no idea Otis wanted to twin-turbocharge it, but maybe that becomes a thing once you've owned a 917/30 alongside a 917K? |
