Found this picture in The Complete BooK of Sports Cars by Bill Reynolds, pub 2002. Ther's a section on Porsches'. Caption reads: " The 914 was Porsche's "ugly duckling"- this is a 1974 model. Mis-engined two-seater are notoiously difficult to style, and Porsche made the mistake of assuming that they could get away with a bruttally simple, functionL look. Front/rear balance was superb, but unfortunate looks ans disregard for driver confort and convenience doomed the 914."

Anyway, the picture caught my attention. Maybe somone recognizes the car.
