Yeah, Carlsson looks like John Candy. He's only a little older, nowadays. FWIW: he's the brother in law of sir Sterling Moss.

During the mid 80s, he came over to the town where I used to live at that time. There's a Scania truck factory in that town. Saab and Scania were one company back then. (Scania being one of Europe's largest truck builders). I was one of the lucky few who got an invite for a test drive in a Saab 9000 with Carlsson behind the wheel on the Scania test track.

In short: a trip that I will never forget! You can not imagine how fast that guy drives. Sort of roller coaster on 4 wheels! Luckily, he didn't tip the car!

I like the "stark beauty" that your car offers. And I mean that as a complement. I especially like the view of the rear of the cabin. The combination of no grille letters, no vinyl and black sail trim is very minimalistic and eye catching at once. Great find. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/thumb3d.gif)

Love the TR3 and the Saab too.

Noticed the Wolfsburg crest on the steering wheel (even upside down). Reminds me back in 1969 the local Porsche+Audi dealer needed a 914 to be driven from Minneapolis to Cedar Rapids, IA to open the dealership and show what was coming. Of course, my other gearhead friend and I volunteered, and they accepted! Surprised as we like 18 at the time! The blue 914 my friend and I drove was an early euro model that had the Wolfsbburg wheel and the VW part of the rear label covered up!

Tangerine Racing is a great source for a lot of what you will probably need/want, stainless steel fuel lines especially. I have also have had very good service from 914rubber, high quality stuff and great service. We all agree that Eric Shea is the man for brakes, great resources here at 914world.

Nice car by the way, mine is a 73 2.0 and I just can't say it often enough about how much fun it is to drive. Welcome to 914world and good luck with that car!
