I have the 914 I want.
It is a 73 2.0 liter original car. It is not perfect. It has original paint. It runs great and drives great... and quite honestly, it is the perfect car... at least for me. As I thought about this, I wondered about how many people really truly have the 914 that they want. So many seem to want something other than what they have... maybe a six, maybe a wide fendered car, maybe something with perfect paint, something modified, maybe something better than what they have... so how many are really satisfied with the car they have? If you are satisfied with the car you have, post it here and tell us why? |

Thirty years ago I wanted to get another sports car. My first car was a '59 Sprite that I reluctantly sold when I had to move to a new state for a job. I love(d) British cars. Tough to explain unless you've been there. I always loved the TR-3. I also liked the 914 ever since seeing it at the San Francisco Auto Show in 1969.
So, finally getting to the point, 30 years ago I could finally afford a sports car. I spent a few months buying the Auto Trader magazine. One issue had both a TR-3 and a 914. In either case; two seats, top down, fun car. The clincher was German vs British reliability. No contest. Love the teener. If I ever win the lottery though, I'm going to get that Triumph. |
