Take one large graduated cylinder, fill half full with water. Immerse your 914 with windows closed. Measure the difference and you'll have your volume.

Factory dimensions
Length = 4050 mm
width = 1650 mm
height = 1230 mm

Are you planning on burying your 914.
I feel the same way most of the times. LOL
Hope this helped with your questions but you'll have to do the math.

Geoff is asking because he is charged $78 per cu meter to get his car off the ship
in OZ! Customs.....

We calculated 6.7 cu meter, but did not allow for the curve of the windshield,
air under the car, etc.

Just trying to save him a few bucks, they get too much as is!!
