My new book arrived today. Going to have to read from cover to cover. Lots of new information to me. Just grabbed a couple of shots from book. The picture of the drawing of the 914 that never was , is one I have never seen. On the next page is some technical drawings for it. Interestingly, the cover of the book has Porsche Museum on it.

Got it off Ebay, but all the usual sellers have it. Around $50.

914sixer, thanks for posting this.

Amazon lists it also. It is available in both English and German, so make sure you order the language you prefer.

Does this book mention awards that the 914 received? IIRC it was Car and Driver Import Car of the Year in 1970. I also think it received an Industrial Design award around the same time.
