Theese are rare footages of the Porsche 914 GT at Le Mans 1970.
The car was prepared by the french importer Sonauto. It finished sixth and won the GT class, beating all the 911. It was driven by Guy Chasseuil & Claude Ballot-Léna. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DgkDHvDwU0Q The BW shots are from French TV archive. The Color shots are from Automobile Club official Film (Not the Steve McQueen Movie) This is edited from copyrighted material. I will make this video available for a limited time and I won't provide any copy. The color film only shows a few seconds of 914. It can be watched for free here: http://www.ina.fr/sport/auto-moto/video/VD...fficiel.fr.html The 45mn BW video is not free. It shows a lot of 917 and about 2min (what I edited) of 914. It can be previewed and purchased here: http://www.ina.fr/video/CPF07003554/24-heu...de-jour.fr.html |

Cool video.
I love the shot of the E-Type pulled off to the side and the driver looking in the trunk. Do you think it was an electrical issue? |

Cool video. I love the shot of the E-Type pulled off to the side and the driver looking in the trunk. Do you think it was an electrical issue? What E-type ? This is a 911 In the original footage they zoom on the car and you clearely see its a 911. BTW no E-type ran that year (in 1970 this was already an old car) |
