Does anyone on this board have any information, photo's or links to the 914/6 GT prototype as pictured. Any help would be much appreciated.

Dave

@beltwerks

great photos.dave (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

first sheet has some interesting numbers on it.
looks like a proto chassis number and a date.
if it is a chassis number its 914001 and dated april 68.
of interest is that there is an indication that chassis numbers seemed to be in at least two different series for the protos.

there is 914111 (piech 8) and 914114 (tangerine car)
914006 (ferry p 8) and this one 914001 (assuming that is chassis number).
i've never read anything out there definitive on proto chassis numbers but it seems to me they were not a straight progression of cumulative numbers? looks like they could have been batched sequences maybe? you would need a list of all the proto chassis numbers (document ) to know how that worked.

but yeah this hockenhem car is an early hand built proto. be interesting to know from which batch and stage of proto builds.


EDIT - ps that first sheet of 4 images is real interesting the more you look at it.
its in a wind tunnel!!!!
