914 F8:

Here are some photos of the 914-8 with the factory908 engine installed tight fit.
Nice car: it has a lot of extra goodies that make it unique.
Headlights are two light per side.
I like the outside fuel filler cap, I did the same thing on my 914, it beats opening the trunk every time for gas.
Also the gear shifter rod runs in front of the passenger seat out towards the door and then runs back to the trans.

If any ones has any more photos that would be great to see them.

Enjoy

I wonder what the shifting is like with the rod making a couple extra turns?

I don't know , were not able to drive it for our selves.
If one works with the Factory and plans a media day for a Porsche Magazine, (Excellence, Panorama)you might get a chance.

I have a diagram of this set up, when I can I will scan and load it.

Thanks

minor hijack for something of interest. note the shape of the fender at the turn signal, and the lense too. did #4 have euro lenses? back to your previously scheduled programing.

The 914-8 was a pre 914, Chassis #914111, I think they produced many one off's for the car.
The front fender is round and the front lens has a lift instead of a curve shape like the current 914's have.

In the Big 914 book from Germany you can see the clay mock up of this idea.

I do not understand the #4 question about euro lens.
In Europe the 914 front turn signal lens is two colors, Bottom white for the driving light used in the cities and the amber/yellow for the turn signal.
In the rear Amber for turn signal and Red for brake and driving light or first position on the light switch.

I hope that I did not mess up your question to much.

Thanks

the correct spelling is: Ernst-Jan Mastenbroek

I guess the second guy is Dave Fagan ?

the #4 question referes to #914114, which has got the same turn light lenses

here's one photo from the same shooting at "Schloss Langenburg"

Thanks Gustl B, for the save.
You know the heat in Florida get's to ones head. Can't remember names???
I was wondering what the #4 was about? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/headbang.gif)
Yes that is Dave, I have those photos somewhere just have to go find them.

Motor Klassik from 1/1990 did the article on this 914-8 and also the Silver 916
Called Jorgs Traum!!! I think that it is everyone dream.

Klaus Parr from the Porsche archives let me look through countless B&W photos, as the day was ending he told me " We also have many in Color photos, Racing 914-6 GT’s, 916 Catalogue etc.
I ask can I see them, It was already 6pm, he said I must come back another day, I was leaving the very next day. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/ohmy.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/ohmy.gif)

Yes, the #4 car has the same inner fender details too. Really rough pounding and a welding seam from being a pre-porduction model.
Far as I know only the 2 flat 8 cars and the #4 (9141114) car are the only protypes to exist today.

be sure that I couldn't tell the correct spelling out of my brain ... I have the book next to my computer (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/rolleyes.gif)

I own the Motor Klassik 01/1990 - nice article with superb photos

Great pics.

See how wide those headlamp covers are? I'd like to see the configuration of the headlamps in there.
