Several years ago Wiesenthal (?sp) an artist in Amsterdam, created a limited number of large scale 914's. Most of them went to European collectors. A few made it to the U.S.A. I have been trying to find one for several years since I learned these rare porcelain models existed. I have a Porsche friend who lives in The Netherlands. I asked him about these models several months ago. It turns out he has done business with the artist in the past. He asked the artist if any of these 914's were still available. None were, but the artist said he was willing to make a few special for me. I commissioned 3 to be produced. I told him to use the bright colors of his choice, unlike any that had been done before. Four were made. Two of them were damaged in the glazing process and destroyed. I am keeping the blue one. I am making this burgundy one available to one lucky 914World.com member.
I could probably sell it for much more on eBay, but I want this special item to go to a good home. In an effort to be fair, I will follow the lead of seanery and the t-shirts. I will have a lottery for the chance to buy this piece. (kinda sounds like AA. Last rare one ...... yadda, yadda, yadda) The model is truely fantastic. It is 16 inches long. There a no flaws or damage that I have found. It is sturdy, but remember - it is made of fragile porcelain. I would prefer to be able to arrange for hand delivery. I would hate for it to be broken in the mail. I will be in the S.F. area in two weeks. SD or LA in about a month. Maybe you need a good excuse for a road trip to Vegas? The price is $180. Please post here or e-mail me if you want to be included in the lottery. I ask PLEASE do not enter if you have thought of reselling it for a profit. LMK if you have any questions or want more photos. I will select a winner at midnight on friday Sept 19th. Attached image(s)
