Could you convince him to do an English version of this Book. That would be awesome. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smilie_pokal.gif)

I think (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/huh.gif) that if we approach him and offer to due the book in English with a tech person and a good translator, It could happen.
I would like to add more photos and an American section with the IMSA cars and some current racers.
I heard that there are many more photos that he had in his possession that we would all like to see. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smilie_pokal.gif)

One piece engine and trunk.

Quilmes,
Do you know how this works? It looks like it slides back and then pivots up?

Great pics, I really appreciate the industrial design clay models and wood bulks. Do you have any concept sketches? Is this book available in the US?

Quilmes, You Rock! If I ever get to Florida I want you to photo me ride! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/aktion035.gif)

914-8s thanks and I am happy I have a place to post my pictures that people can enjoy.
My work takes me to Minneapolis, MN 55402, ( If I am not mistaken that could be close to you)I might be going up this year before June. I can take my cameras and spare a day and photograph your 914.
Or I can help you set up your camera angle/speed/with the help of your friends and you will accomplish they same shots I do.

Again Many Thanks
Quilmes

Porsche 914-103 the rear trunk and engine cover seem to be one, I do not know if this was change later on for the 914-8???

this was just in the early prototype/construction phase while they were experimenting which way could be the best - same with the decision if single or double headlights

there was never a complete car with this one-part-engine-and-rear-trunk-lid

in the early phases they were even thinking about a real 3-seater, like the Matra Bagheera

cool pictures.....for some reason I think the flat-8 looks way better than a flat-6, it looks more "refined" (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif)

unfortunately this book isn't available at all

first edition 1989
second edition 1991

they're sold out for more than 10 years

every now and then one shows up at eBay, usually they sell for about $100-150 (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/sad.gif)

Two things:

The top drawing, plan view seems to show that the engine fits between the rear suspension inner ears.

I'm pretty sure the cams are driven by a train of gears all in the same plane. We can clearly see how the 917 cams are driven on the site that covers that engine, and I suppose that some of the same parts were used on the 8 cylinders.

now that'a a little funny to me (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) because both 914-8 cars were built in '69 ... most 914-6 were built later

Gustl B Hello, I hope that you are doing well, do you think that Michael von Klodt might be willing to work on another book in English. I know that he has done some other ones on BMW, Minis, 2Cv etc...

Also here is a photo for you from the 914-6 club booklet.

Next week I will start to post the 914-6GT photos and you can help me (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/mueba.gif)

Thanks

Hi Quilmes,
let me say it with these words: I really hope that he will do an english version of his outstanding book. But I have my doubts - I mean, it's more than 15 years ago that he wrote the german version.
In my opinion it would be a logical decision to do the english translation because the USA were the largest market for the 914. But it would be logical too to come up with a german reprint. Everybody knows, that this book is the most desirable 914 book ever.

So, all we can do is hope


Many thanks for the GT pic - "S W 1947" (914 0 43 2541) is my personal favorite!
I have a nice pic with autograph from Gerald Larrousse:

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/agree.gif) 914103 never had a suspension mounted too it!

they used it for all kinds of prototype tryouts. it was also one of the 3 cars that they put the dual headlights on ...

it would take some fabbing ...
you'll need to enlarge the housing, then joing 2 linkages, make a custom cover, surrround etc.
the motor should be strong enough to pull the additional weight ...
modify the hood ...

can be done.

plus, convert to the prototype turn signal housing/lenses at the same time to get the "real" look ...

In the last 15 years there have been improvements in printing. You can do smaller print runs for less money. If either of you knows how to contact him (Michael von Klodt) ask, all he can say is no.

I'd be in for one, especially if there were more pictures.

i wonder how much extra drag that adds when they are up.....

dude... the hood mod is easy..... the widening of the headlight bucket is easy...... the "surround" is expensive to do.... this could all be done pretty cheaply i bet (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/idea.gif)
