I have exchanged emails with the original owner of my 914 a couple of times a year since I bought it in 2014. He had owned it for 41 years. He sold it to someone who sold it to me just 2-3 months later so Jim and I represent about 48 years of ownership.
Jim is a great guy who took amazing care of the car. He, his partner and son drove five hours from Minneapolis to our place in Ephraim WI. Had a great time chatting and going to dinner with them.  |

Mine has had only one real owner. He passed away in 2013? I believe, I have the obituary and the comments mention my car. I ran into his widow at the grocery store (she lives a couple houses away) and she had great stories. Apparently they both got new cars in 73 (back in LA). She got a jag and he got the 914. Anyway, after he passed the car sat in a garage here in NY for almost 10 years. She told me she told her kids sentimental stuff only went so far and they should sell it. Made me feel better about it, she was happy to see it out and about. She must be at least 90.
