I've just gotten permission to let the proverbial cat out of the bag.
This LE will not be going to the UK. Wrong ocean! The U.K. Owners have sold it to a buyer in New Zealand! It will be leaving soon for its ocean crossing. For now, after Mark finished it, it has been moved to my smog shop in Sonoma. I had the pleasure of doing a PPI on the car for the New Zealand buyer and it is one of the finest 914's, and possibly the finest LE I have laid eyes on... Buyer thinks it may be the only Creamcicle in NZ! |

I was talking to Michael Nagy one day at an RGruppe event at EASY and he was talking about having found the car. I realized after a minute or two that he was talking about this car. It sounds like it came a long ways to get to the condition it that it is in now...

Oh, and I forgot to mention how great it was to start and drive a car that has 'functional' DJet! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/evilgrin.gif)

Congratulations to the new owner! I'm glad you found one! I just couldn't give mine up. You'll soon see why. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Yesterday, at 4pm, the Creamsicle departed my shop for the trip to Long Beach and eventually, New Zealand.
New owner, Steve, says he will keep us posted. Total time at sea is expected to be 4 weeks + a couple weeks in Long Beach. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bye1.gif) |

There aren't many 914's in NZ anyway let alone one of these,I have been told there is one genuine six and 2 -6 copies (mine included),the rest are 4 cyl ones @ various places up and down both islands. The PO of my car mentioned a few owners that I could contact ,hard car to do here as there are basically no parts around. Ever increasing shipping costs and our weak New Zealand dollar do nothing to help the with oversea's purchase of parts. |
