Newbie here..., RHD, from SRI LANKA Options

[RohJay]

Hi there,

Just want to introduce myself. I am located in Sri Lanka and I just purchased a 914 from Australia. It's a '70, but with 2.0 FI eng and converted to Right Hand Drive.

This is my 2nd foray into 914s. My first was a '74 2.0 while attending college in St. Louis MO from '92 - '96. That car was AX prepped by the PO. I had to sell it, reluctantly, as I was returning home after graduation. By far the most fun car i've owned; it had obviously made a lasting impression on me.

Well after more than ten years , last month I finally decided i was going to get myself a 914 again. Since there are absolutely NO 914s here, I would have to import one. After countless hours of internet search, I finally settled on this car from Australia. Although I could have sourced a car somewhat cheaper from the US, geographic proximity and mandatory RHD requirement made sense to go with this.

I also own an '89 944 S2 (the only 944 in the country) and a fully restored '53 VW Oval. I had to sell-off my fully restored '59 Karmann-Ghia coupe to facilitate the 914 purchase.

It will take about a month for the car to reach me. Once it does, I'm sure I will have plenty of questions for the forum.... Till then here's some photos from the seller:
