I visited the Porsche Museum in October. Took some video of the 914-8.
It's short but shows some good details. Robert https://youtu.be/G5sTmYOuHuA  |

gear selector linkage pretty wild on the 8.
think its an adaption of the linkage on the 908, all of which were effectively rhd cars with the gear lever on the right hand sill instead of the centre tunnel. designed for lemans. kind of a weird thing where a left hand drive control position was transposed to the right hand side of the car. ford GT40s were the same. porsche might have even copied ford - not sure. looks like they added an extra cross bar linkage to join with central mounted gear lever. gear lever was further back than in a standard 914. interesting. wonder if it shifted better than a production 914 or was worse?
