On Friday I went to the Concorso Italiano, a big Italian exotics car show that is put on the same weekend as the Laguna Seca Historics, Pebble Beach Concours etc. I'm just now checking out one of the freebies; a mag (new to me) called "Sports Car Market - an Insider's Guide to Investing, Values and Trends". Lo and behold on page 50 was a decent article on "The Second Coming of the 914-4". The author, Jim Schrager (anyone know him?), is basically saying that the 914 is where the 356 was about 10 years ago. It had some decent tips re: what to look for etc. and was very positive on the 914. Some quotes: "Be prepared for some long stares from those who don't know what it is as you motor around in your 914, as well as long, friendly discussions with former owners, of whom there are plenty." and "While the 356 has moved from daily-driver status to collectible and their prices have soared, the 914 has moved into position as the vintage car of choice, with a true period driving experience at an affordable price." I'll try to scan the article at work on Monday if anyone is interested. Since I'm a big Ferrari fan, I took a lot of pics too but I'm sure most would not be interested in seeing all that "Italian trash". Attached is one pic which I think we can all agree is worth posting.
