Hi

Does anyone knows the owner of this 914 https://car-from-uk.com/sale.php?id=156347 ?
It looks very nice and was wondering what improvements besides few they wrote was made to the car. Also which color is it. Olympic blue or Laguna Blue..

Bart

not olympic or laguna blue...just google both colors and you will see.
Cars looks shiny but worried about the panel they bolded in the rear trunk. Think you are into a big suprise underneath.

good luck

- Looks like the car used to be yellow.

- That turquoise is not a stock 914 color and there's overspray everywhere.

- The bolts in the rear trunk look like mounts for some sort of aftermarket sway bar.

- The rear trunk floor has been "repaired". If you are lucky, they cut out the rust and patched in a flat piece of metal (instead of using the readily available and correct reproduction metal), if you are unlucky they just covered up the rust and it's still underneath that flat piece.

- Hacked wiring everywhere.

- No images of the underside, which is always a red flag.


For $24k (Canadian?) i would expect a lot better than this ...

I agree, that rear trunk panel is an overlay of something?? Nice big brakes for a 2 liter

My favorite description is that the "ashtray is in nice working order".

I know it doesn't answer your original question.

$24000 Canadian is about $18050 USD
If the longs, etc., checked out the price is about what I'd expect from a dealer , but I'm on the other side of the country and prices tend to be higher here.

At this price point I'd expect the car to be safety certified.
Not sure on British Colombia car certification (safety) regulations but here (Ontario Canada) no E-brakes would be an instant fail, you can't get plates (tags) till it's fixed, likely the reason it's being sold "as is".

I find it odd that it's not being advertised locally, Kijiji ads are free to cheap. I get alerted to any 914 F/S all Canada kijiji and I haven't seen this one. Big red flag.

I would definitely get a PPI from a shop of your choice. FB 914 Canada has members in BC that might look at it for you.


Four of the rear trunk bolts are likely a rear oil cooler mount.

I take it you're Car-bone the decal maker?

Yes we are those sticker makers, and not only stickers - we have a lot of different items.

I asked about this car as I like the color very much with Gt alike body and as it is US car maybe anyone knew the owner. But if not well...

I have no intention to buy this particular one.

Well I found the guy who apparently bought it https://www.instagram.com/lous_cars/
