Hallo, i am Kalle fom Germany and i search for a GOOD 914 for max. $5000.
Kalle

Thanks Kalle,

This should get you some more exposure and help you locate a car.

Welcome to the board.


B

i have to admit, i have no idea where "Calberlah" is

Kalle, viel Glück bei der 914 Suche.
Am besten wäre wohl ein 2.0L aus Kalifornien, die haben normalerweise am wenigsten Rost ...

Andy

Hallo Andy,
du sprichst deutsch? Das ist ja toll, denn ich kann nur ein wenig englisch. Ich hatte schon einen 914 an der Hand, leider habe ich zu lange überlegt und nun ist er verkauft.
Du hast recht, es sollte schon ein 914 aus Californien sein. Vielleicht klappt es ja auf diesem Weg.

Kalle

aha, it's close to Wolfsburg! Should ring a bell for some of the guys here

hope this link works:
Map to Calberlah ...

ja, ich bin aus Limburg an der Lahn. Seit 1998 hier in Kalifornien (Meine Frau ist von hier). Ich bin mir ziemlich sicher das wir hier einen 914 für dich finden können. Die meisten (für USA) wurden damals hier nach Kalifornien verschifft. Ich sehe hier in einem Monat mehr 914ner als in meinen 35 Jahren in Deutschland zusammen

I like the newbies name, neunhundertvierzehn. Very slick!
Maybe he wants the six, Brad.

Kalle,

You might try searching in the UK for one.. I know that a lot of the ones around here are California imports.

I did a search on AutoTrader UK and found :

In fact this one is a VW Porsche 914, first registered in Qatar, it moved to Spain before being imported into UK in 1997. LHD, 1700cc, 72000KM from new, bodywork and mechanics excellent, full MOT and tax. Asking price £4250 ono. Tel . £4250 02392 386609.

Tel: 02392 386609

If you find a good UK car, then you save LOADS on shipping!

Hello Folks, hello Kalle,

i'm new to the list and as well from Germany. Till now i was a lurker and found most of the posted articles very useful for my 914-6 restoration project.

Some words to my german colleague : Hallo Kalle, viel Glück bei der Suche !

many greetings form Berlin/Germany

Benno

Andy, my German is rusty so did I read it right with you saying you came to California in 98 from Limburg an der Lahn? I like seeing people from afar post here. The site gets ever wider. Welcome to our new German friends
bruce

Hallo Kalle und Benno,

Noch ein liebe grusse von euer freundin auf 914World.com. Ich habbe ein rennen kontakt in Hannover und Ich werde um ein 914 fur Sie frage.

Gut Fahrt

bruce, yes, that is correct. i moved down here in late 98 (december).
long story but i still feel like i'm on vacation!

and his wife is from here.....
That much I can still understand.
Geoff

Benno,
herzlich willkommen!

Wie geht deine /6 Restaurierung voran?

What's this? A german invasion?

Ich möchte gern mein Fahrrad zuruck

Cheers,

Jeroen

Mien freund hat kein 914 verkaufer gefinden.
Das Bild ist von Techno Classica in Essen gestern.

Sehr Schon!
Ein 914 wie er sein soll.

First time I have been speachless in awhile.

AWESOME.

B

Those pics are awesome. Makes me want to flare my fenders and paint the bumbers black. I know it still wouldn't be a GT, but it is as close as I'm going to get.

I've seen this car.
Absolutely stunning!

cheers,

Jeroen

Jereon, do you still have the site where that car is featured. I think its a German restoration company.
I lost that link..
Geoff

Hi there,

here is the website with a feature article of the car from techno classica motor show in essen :

http://www.auto43.de/restau.htm

The car is a very clean GT-Replica and it took 10 years to complete it after the restoration of
the body was finished . I think it took more than half the time to gather all the original parts,
if not even longer.

many greetings

Benno

this is a better link with some pix ...

http://www.auto43.de/projekte.htm

Only down part of the car would be the poor quality of the f/g hoods
My guess is that that's the reason he painted them flat black
If he'd painted them in a glossy color or glossy black, the "waiving" of the f/g would show even more

Still one amazing car though!

cheers,

Jeroen

hi jeroen,

i think these are original 914-6/gt hoods which are made from very thin fiberglass reinforced with balsa wood.


ciao Benno

Hey Benno,

I don't remember, but they probably are

cheers,

Jeroen

i don't think they were meant to fit well.
unlike today's aftermarket fiberglass, back then the FG on the
GT's was used for racing applications rather than daily drivers
with a "see, it's a real race car!" flair to it ...

If your looking for a car in the UK go to www.nineforteen.co.uk they sell cars plus they Know most of the cars in the uk and may give you good advise.
you could also try http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/uk914/ you will have to log in.
hope this is some help.

P.S nice site i get the feeling i may be back here again for advise

Yeah, but still...
These are not original f/g hoods, just replicas with the balsawood reinforcement
With today's f/g techniques you'd expect a better quality piece

cheers,

Jeroen

are you sure these are not original?
i know of a few original GT f/g hoods that still float around ...

Andy

ok... if they're original, he's forgiven
what are we talking 'bout anyway

cheers,

Jeroen

hey jeroen,

i thought that my german colleague tried to find a car . Does anybody knows if he was successful ?

Hallo SirAndy, ich hatte ja mit allem gerechnet, nur nicht mit jemanden der hier deutsch
spricht . Wie lange bist Du denn schon in Amerika ? Ich bin ca. 1-2 mal pro Jahr in den Staaten aus beruflichen Gründen.

BTW, I've uploaded two pictures of my "car-collection" to the
Members 914 Thread

Benno

benno,
ich bin seit 1998 hier in den usa. meine ex-frau ist aus Sausalito (Bay Area), wir hatten uns in deutschland (Köln) kennergelernt und sind dann 98 hier nach San Francisco gezogen. die ehe hat nicht lange angehalten, aber mir hat es hier so gut gefallen, das ich dann einfach hiergelieben bin

habe meine eigene firma gegründed und bin inzwischen wieder verheiratet.
drück mir die daumen das es diesesmal etwas länger anhält!

bringen dich deine beruflichen reisen auch mal hier an die west-küste?

Andy
