History:
This 1973 Porsche 914 was first delivered to Niello Porsche-Audi in Sacramento California and it was acquired by the seller in 2019 and subsequently underwent a full refurbishment. The car is believed to have had 3 previous owners and shows an indicated 24,000miles. (actual mileage unsure) Work included repainting the body in its original Phoenix Red, and it is powered by its original fuel-injected 2.0-liter flat-four paired with its matching number five-speed manual transaxle. Equipment includes a removable roof panel, 15″ alloy wheels, fog lights, and a Blaupunkt Frankfurt FM/AM radio. What makes this 914 special, is that the previous owner had collected the largest collection of original NOS 914 parts and they have been put onto this vehicle during its rebuild. Cost in parts is estimated at over £40,000. This 914 is now offered for sale, with original window sticker, tool kit, manufacturer’s literature, records for refurbishment, a Porsche Certificate of Authenticity, and a UK registered V5C. Restoration: The car was disassembled and stripped back to bare metal, the respray included the front and rear luggage compartments, door jams and the engine bay. Due its rust-free condition the original factory underseal was not removed from the cabin area. No rust or accident damage was observed during the repaint. Chroma Concepts was chosen to repaint the car, due to the owner’s relationship and work done on various McLaren Ultimate cars. The car completed its reassemble during March 2022 and was delivered to Greatworth Classics in the UK for suspension set-up and engine tune. The car was completed and has now been driven over 100 miles. Its first major show was at the beginning of May, where it entered into the prestigious Stanford Hall Concours event. It competed against a multi winning 914 (Kevin Clarkes 1974 Ravenna Green 2.0), the car scored 139/140 and won first prize. Although the car is located in the UK, the seller will pay for shipment costs (excl Insurance & taxes) This is a brand new 914 2.0Litre that has been painstakingly restored with what must have been the largest selection of NOS parts outside of the factory / Automobile Atlanta. It has won the prestigious concours event in the UK, sadly due to a pending divorce the car is now privately for sale. Happy to answer any questions on the car and thanks for looking.

Wow....I'm a big fan of survivors and normally not one to get too excited about restored cars but this car is impressive! The number of NOS parts and bits is astounding. And the car seems to have been documented and done exceedingly well! In my view well worth the asking price. I actually feel it might do more than that on BAT.
Is that a sticker or hang tag (the Porsche motor oil one) in the engine compartment. I have an all original '73 2.0 and have never seen that. Also don't recall seeing the orange cable strap hanging off the brain. Did yours have it? Thanks for sharing and good luck with the sale. Oh....and my '73 also has original black sill plates and white headlight surrounds. |

Thankyou.. Sadly BAT we’re not interested in advertising the car for me. The oil tag was something I added, but I now have a copy of the door jam sticker that I will use to show the “next oil change”. If you would be so kind please send me details of the orange cable strap - I must have missed that.. Thanks again all. It really is a great car. Drives so well - just sad I need to sell it. |

I’m very surprised that BAT would decline to list your car. They can be odd at times in their selection but I would have definitely expected they would take it. Maybe didn’t like your reserve? Ah well…it will sell well. Here is a pic of the strap. I vaguely recall that these are actually still available through Porsche as they were used on other cars also. |
