Took the 914 out for a short test run today, got a quick headlight bob (up-down) from an MR-2 coming the other way. That was totally unexpected...

I had something like that happen at a car show a couple years ago. The Fiat X1/9 was parked in another section and the guy saw me arrived and hopped in his car drove over and said this seems more appropriate then being parked next to that Chevy Impala.

Also had another time similar when a Corvair parked next to me.
It was interesting that both the Corvair and Fiat X1/9 seem to be so much larger then the 914.

Looks like an X1/9 to me.

A late Bertone version
