So I was doing a bit of work on the car last night. My brother came out and started talking to me about the car. I mentioned it was sold as a VW in Europe. At least I have seen European pictures with VW logos.
Well being the VW guy that he is he had to start saying it's a VW then. I said well pretty much everything on it is porsche at this point. So he said it's still a VW body. SO Yeah now I was wondering who made the body? Porsche or VW or a bit of both? |

Isn't the fact that the 914 is treated as the "bastard" car of Porsche part of its appeal. It' is kind of fun to get spun up about things like the advert saying the Boxster was Porsche's first mid-engined street car.
I was looking forward to one of the PCA members to tell me it isn't a real Porsche. My response would be, "Yea, I know, but the VW club wont have me." But it appears it's not going to happen For the record the local VW club will take any one who is a "VW enthusiast". No VW ownership is required. |
