bought it in 2000 is my first 914 and i have feeling that the family will only grow. need to get her back on the road.
I have to say i am more impressed with those that have 100's of thousands of miles on their 914's. that shows me this car is the favourite one in the driveway.

but I'll bet mine has lower mileage - 67,914 miles (no spelling error). Come on - who has lower miles as an original owner?

It's not how few miles you've driven it, it's how many....unless it's a jackstand queen.

I was looking at an Elise in a parking lot today when the owner came out. We got to talking and he said he's the original owner of a '74 2.0 with over 300,000 miles - Olympic blue, still basically stock. He said he's selling it - I'll be calling him tomorrow.

BTW, I bought a '73 1.7 new on 7/29/73. Had to sell it in '76 but it's responsible for my continuing addiction.

Bought mine in 1979.

How about an award for the least amount of the original car left? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif)

I bought mine brand new in, ah, 1970... no, 1969. Yeah, that's the ticket. My wife, ah... Morgan Fairchild, (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wub.gif) and I lived in Germany and I was the engineer,..no the Chief Design Engineer for Porsche and I built the first 914.

I, err we still have the car, drove it all over Europe, drove it back to the states and have only,ah... 135 milies on it. Yeah, that's it. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)

I think I have owned some 30+ drivable 914's in the past 17-18 years. Does that count for anything? Or is that just a disease? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/screwy.gif)

Had current 6 since Feb 76. 90k miles so far. Bought first 6 in July 70, but succumbed to 911 envy and traded it in 71.

I ordered mine in November of 1969, picked it up in Brussels in March or April of 1970. Like an earlier poster, I drove it all over Europe while married to a Morgan Fairchild look alike... (No, really!).

BTW, the rust starts early. I had to have the back fenders repainted by the local dealer (under warranty) because little spots of rust appeared on the lips of the wheel wells before 6 months was up. This was before we'd gone through a Mannheim winter.

Bought mine in May '72 at Alpine P-A in Colorado Springs; drove it 24k miles in the first year. It was my daily driver until 1989 (not counting time in AK and at sea). Rolled over 230K a couple of weeks ago; hope to have it back out again tomorrow.

I was lucky--thought about selling it back in the late 80s; wife said "let's fix it up for when the kids are gone." (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wub.gif) She's a keeper!

I've owned this since 1981...that's almost 4 years in dog-years.
