Man your awsome. Did you see the car...its in one of the photos posted here.

I got all tingly inside when I saw this site. I knew the Japanese were good in baseball...but I had no idea they had an affinity for fine our german road machines.

I had no clue that there were that many 914s delivered...much less a club even...If there were 20 Limited Editions imported to Japan they must have had several thousand 914s also.

I would like to email the owner of the LE car if anyone here can connect us. I want more details and photos of the car for the 914 LE website.

It would be cool to have them participate here on this board...

Has anyone seen the couple of mentions for Japanese 914 parts in the restoration books? Seems to me there was a special tach and sidemarker lenses just for Japan.

Bowlsby,

It's very common for the Japanese to buy cars in SoCal and ship them back.
My mechanic in LA used to deal with a couple guys who would buy 911 & 914 shells
then build a hot rod out of it with a big 6, put some paint on it and sell them for quite a bit in Japan.

They almost always had at least one car in the shop.

a clean datsun roadster, spl/srl, from the u.s.will fetch $17 to $20k in japan. the taxing system for cars there is the opposite as ours. costs go up as the car gets older. ever wonder why there are so many "cheap" crate engines for cars from japan? with the lack of space/parking, those costs make kobe beef seem like stew meat.

If I remember correctly, they can't use an engine for more than 25k miles there.
They are incredibly strict on emissions.
That doesn't go for 'classic' cars, though. That's the answer I was given by my
friends into the ricey stuff in LA.
