Wonder how the yellow 916 is doing these days, it was owned by one of the Porsche gals as well. My old friend Otis Chandler acquired it in the early 1980s from the Porsche Family, he sold it to a collector about 10 years later. It went to a private Porsche museum in Japan. These cars didn't trade for much coin back then; it's all about the 6 and 7 figures today (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif)


It's alive and well, Marty, and featured in the new version of the book, Carrera RS. Restored but for the original brown paisley, as it isn't available. Owner has a house in Europe and the U.S. and is definitely one of us...forgot which house he keeps it at.


Good to hear that it's in good hands Pete, our cars don't seem to get into the hands of Flippers often. Good caregivers of the 914 are good people (IMG:style_emoticons/default/thumb3d.gif)

?? Neither of them had a black interior - they were either Paisley (9142330017) or tan leather (9142330018)
They can also be recognised by the wheels (although they could be swapped around): 17 they differed front to rear, 18 they were the same (7x15?) all round.
(The rear badging also differs).

We should plan a trip to the Peterson Museum for those that have not seen Brutus yet.
I heard it's only going to be there until January.

Brutus the prototype 916 and Corina Porsche's personal car, it will be featured in the RM auction in Paris, Feb 2019

Corina Piëch, not Corina Porsche (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif)
she was born as Corina von Planta and married Ferdinand Piëch

Are there pictures of Corina with Brutus ?
And, is she still alive ?

Well he’s alive and women live longer. She was his first wife right? A search seems to indicate she holds a patent for a motorcycle helmet?

I'll def check out this exhibit before the Porsche Effect tour is moved out...check out Brutus while we are there. I'll be taking the " Petersen Vault " tour with a friend (owns the LeMans #40). Should be interesting to hear what the tour guide spins>> while waliking along in the unknowing company of the LeMans 914 owner (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)
