I'll start it off.

my first white 914 was a 6 with a 2.7RS

and then my current build... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

both of these cars were orignally L80E.
the 6 was repainted before I bought it in L908 (Grand Prix White)
and I decided I liked the brighter L908 for the '75 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

No, she's not mine, but I know this car inside and out, mechanically speaking.

It's the only one I have. NEW -6 still with dealer plates and a bike rack on the trunk. 1972 Sold it like a dummy for a BMW a couple years later.

Perfect timing for this thread. I just got back from shooting pictures of my latest project. 1973 Light Ivory L80E. Full size pictures and some other angles on my Original Customs Flickr Page. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wub.gif)

Here's three white 914s in one place.
The race car was still under construction at the time.

Root - "Light Ivory" L80E was the one & only "white" color as OE on our 914s, although my COA (based on the Kardex) & the earlier 914-6 paint numbers used the 1110 Porsche code for Light Ivory up to 71 or 72 MY (when they consolidated codes on 4's & 6's, & converted 914-6's to the VW color code).

BTW - the 11 is for the Light Ivory & 10 is for the black targa top - so all 914's would've been 1110, while only targa topped 911's & 912's are 1110.

L908 (Grand Prix White?) came along later - post-914 - & is a brighter white. I think Dan used that on his current build.

Porsche & VW both had a series of Whites other than those two codes as well.

Is that Brent E's 73 2l (2056) all done Mark?
It looks beautiful! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drooley.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drooley.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drooley.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drooley.gif)

His is exactly like mine was from the factory & will be going back to in my resto - L80E with #31 Biege interior (#503 Dark Tan loop pile carpets in my case, don't know if his are #504 Tan or 503).

BTW Mark - I'm on a short hiatus from working on my 914 right now - instead working on the Westy, BMW & house projects. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

Here's my "L80E" - which I have NEVER seen in white since I first bought her used in 1975! Was Gold Metallic when I saw 11/75 & bought 12/75, has Sahara Beige or a tan primer under the gold that I've found recently in prepping for the resto, I changed to L96K Copper Metallic in 8/76 (Brent's was this too), then to the "pavement camouflage" Antracite (Dark Grey) Metallic in the pic. I knew it was white originally from the floor pans & you can see the longs are still white too.

It will eventually look like the one McMark has posted when it's done!

BTW - Dan & all - this is a great thread for examples for my resto, & I'd collected a bunch of these & other L80E's to help "desensitize" an avid "blue fan" into acceptance of a white 914 - & now I rather like them! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
