A great get together today arranged by PCGB to celebrate 50 years of the 914. Altogether we think we managed to get 50 cars there. The biggest gathering of 914's in the UK ever. Many didn't believe there were that many here, but we all know individually many more are out there.

Many have been imported from the US over the years, apologies for that laugh.gif

On the bank at Brooklands.

None. The white one there is a Crayford conversion who converted just a handful back in the day.

Porsche Club Great Britain were there with a professional photographer so there should be some really great shots of the day around very soon.

Love it.

That was so cool. I counted 44 but could be wrong. That is a lot of 914's to gather in one spot- and all running. Congratulations and thanks for posting the pictures for us to enjoy. beerchug.gif smilie_pokal.gif

Thanks Stephen. That was superb.

I love the way just about every car has an accent of individual ownership via some non-stock emblem, lens, decal, etc. I respect stock originality, but I think we go overboard with it on this side of the pond. Bravo UK owners!

Rally/Sport style. Cap the centers and the traditional pipe is in
“quiet” mode. Not sure if ya bother capping the end pipe when the centers are open.
I’m sure it’s a glorious sound either way.

I fairly sure there wasn't In fact I don't think I've ever seen a Copper Metallic car in the UK. That's not to say there isn't one here though.

These are the Porsche Club appointed professional photographer pictures Oscar (as mentioned earlier in the thread) & yes there's some GREAT shots in this collection.
Thought you might recognize a few faces in there :-)
James & I somehow got in a few!

The highlight of the day was getting the 914/6 (on the trailer picture 10) running. It hadn't run in over 10 years, & Kev Clarke & team914 got it running over the day so that the car drove around the site by late afternoon

Awesome pictures!!

I recognize a few cads in there..........!

I was just about to post that link Darren. Beat me to it. There's some great shots there. The main group shot will be my desktop background for a very long time.
