3,800 Mile 914 - Preservation Ideas, How to maintain low milage 914 Options

[914x2]

I’m looking for some advice on how to “preserve” a very low milage 914. The car has 3,800 miles on it. I purchased it from a Porsche collector who bought it at this auction:

For background, I purchased my first 914 for $600 in the 80’s at age 14 with five years of lawn mowing savings. The car didn’t run, had a lot of damage and was riddle with rust. My father and I spent a couple years getting it running, repaired the rust and “restored” it. I’ve owned old Porsches ever since.

I drive all my cars and frowned upon the idea of just displaying them in a garage. However, I now find myself feeling a bit like a caretaker of this car as it is likely one of the most original examples in the wild. So, I’ve morphed into the “display it in the garage” guy with this one.

I am looking for advice on how best to keep it mechanically sound while limiting miles. It is in a climate-controlled garage (always has been) with fluids changes every year. I use ethanal free gas as did the previous owner and I am removing the gas every year by pumping it from this car into my wife’s SUV. I take it on a 10 mile drive every 6 months.

I’d appreciate thoughts on anything I should, or should not, be doing to achieve the goal of preserving the “originality” of this car while still exercising the mechanicals.

I have a friend who is caretaker to a small collection of fine cars, and he takes them each out for a short ride on a scheduled basis about once a month to keep them humming.
