Many of you have probably seen this, but I found an old C/D issue from April 1973. This is special to me since I was in high school at the time, a dedicated C/D reader, and wishing for my first car. This comparison test almost made me wish for a 914, but instead I fell for the winner, the Fiat 124 Spider. A couple of years later, I got one from an insurance salvage yard. That started me on the evil path of DIY auto mechanics and body work.

I’ve always had a soft spot for the GT6. But having worked on a couple different TR6s and a TR4, I’d be wary to get one now. But that inline six is a great sounding motor.
I spent a summer driving a MGB GT, alternating daily with my Datsun roadster. I really liked the GT; it felt pretty solid and satisfying to drive. But even when I was younger, 914s always seemed so special and unique. In the 80s, I would connive my way into a test drive whenever I saw one at a used car lot. Now I think they one of the most unique cars you see in the road. Glad I have mine! A great car missing from this road test is the 240Z. |
