I shipped the car from California a couple of years ago and have fully restored her. Lovely weather for it (it didn't rain and we got sunburned - that doesn't happen often in the UK), a great day out, and met some interesting other 914 folk - its always useful to compare notes and fun to see who the owners are...

We got a very respectable 5th place - we would have stormed it if I had not forgotten to put the jack back in the car, and if Kate had cleaned the wheels a little bit more. Oh well, next time!
