When are you going to give up on that old euro dog and get you a real sports car, like a Miata (IMG:style_emoticons/default/stirthepot.gif)

this is the slightly different rear view mirror that came on #11 and #12




It looks like the hole should be for a grub screw to fix a base sitting inside the stalk? Also looks like the narrow mirror body as per the later early cars

Love all the subtle differences and they were clearly still working out what worked and didn't prior to full blown production

and the story:

In 1992 I decided it was time for me to buy a real 914/6, I had several 914/4s over the years and thought I would rather have a factory six over a conversion. My search began locally and I soon learned most 914/6s in the Midwest had corrosion issues.

I was reading the winter 1994 issue of Mid-Engine View when an advertisement caught my eye it was a very early car with flares! I contacted the owner in Connecticut and scheduled a time to inspect the car, I would drive up there after the Hershey swap meet. I arrived 15 minutes late and found a note on the door explaining how he got tired of waiting for me and had left for the Hamptons. The deal was off, I could not bring myself to dealing with this owner so I continued my search for a six.

In the summer of 1994 I found a euro spec six in New Jersey, it was a beautiful tangerine car with a corduroy and leatherette interior I drove all the way out to Cape May and I bought it . The car was a nice driver and I enjoyed it all summer but it did not have flares.

I couldn’t get the early six off my mind and one day while reading Hemmings I noticed that the car was being sold by F-40 Motorsports so I called and it turned out he was selling on consignment for the guy in Connecticut. I decided that he did not deserve the car and made plans to inspect the car in the F-40 Motorsports showroom, I told him to make sure the owner was not present when I inspected the car.

Upon arrival I saw a beautiful flared red 914/6 with 916 bumpers front and rear. As I got closer I notice the paint was not that great, it was a guards red repaint over the original silver. As I entered the cabin I noticed the speaker grill, then windshield washer bottle. I realized the owner had not noticed the prototype parts. I took the car out for a drive and it ran reasonable well so I struck a deal on the spot.
