Not sure if this has been posted yet. It just came out yesterday.
https://www.porscheroadandrace.com/heinrich...ie-and-the-914/
Has some interesting facts in it that I hadn't read befor so I thought I would share

Edit: just reread it and it appears that Andy Schmidt from 914World contributed to the article. Is that @sirandy or someone else?

Thanks, Gents - it's great to have a proper article. Good job, @SirAndy !


If only we had preserved more sketch proposals (nice to see the final pics vs the alternates and ponder what might have been) and scale clay (and hard) models of the exterior designs that are now timeless to us. . .

Of course, that's easy to say now . . . meanwhile, the 1/5th scale renshape (very dense milling/tooling foam) 550 Spyder (from a scan of an original) that I milled at work 15 years ago gathers dust in the garage attic . . . kids/wife will probably toss it out with all my other "car junk" when I finally "buy the farm" . . .
