My local dealer sent me next year's calendar and Miss August is the 914. Next time some jack-hole tells me the 914 isn't a Porsche, I'll send them a Calendar!

Here is that same car in the flesh. It was getting more attention then the 911 next to it. 3 floor in the Porsche Mueseum last week.

I had never seen this car before.

It's a 914-6
Check the (10) holes in the steel wheel rim, makes it a real 6. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/first.gif)

911’s had a similar shape for ~50 years. Our cars were available for only 6 years. Their rarity always seem to attract attention.

Chicks dig the 914 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
20-30+yr/olds I've talked to or overheard at shows, to them a 911 looks like a squashed bug.

Doesn.t have the VW logo in the back.

So wether it was specifically marketed for Europe is debatable.

I kicked myself later for not noting the VIN as it had one in the window.

If memory serves, the museum sourced this car from the U.S.

Looks like it's been painted since its acquisition, as it looks nicer than it did in a UK magazine's photo shoot at Hockenheim. Can't remember if it had side markers then.

this one used to be in the states until the end of 2010
it was for sale at a dealer in the Netherlands in March 2011
in March 2014 I heard the fist time that it was bought by Porsche Classic

this is how it looked like before Porsche bought it

It's the official Porsche Calendar with the coin and fancy packaging. I think the dealers get a bunch of them.

I don't know my 914-6s well, but wasn't there an air intake in the front bumper/valance for an oil cooler?

No, no intake.

I like the steel wheel/flat cap look on these cars. The Volkswagen ones are so-so, but the 911 style silver wheel with chrome flat cap looks business to me.

Understated.
