It seems to me that it is only a matter of time before someone decides that a true Kit Car should be made to resemble the 914, the big questions are:
Will people buy the kits? Will the Kits and components be true to the original design? (Mid-engine, ind. suspension, 4 whl disc brakes, etc, etc) What kind of chassis will the Kit be built on? 1) A used or damaged 914 chassis? 2) VW Bug chassis 3) Tube frame (like a Cobra or Lotus 7 kit) 4) Glued up chassis using honeycomb composites? Would you buy one??? Everyone drools over the cobras, the 550 spyders, heck in Europe there is even a Kit Car based on the 911 which uses multiple different watercooled powerplants if one wants to go that route. |
