My brother-in-law is vacationing in Nazare Portugal and saw this drive by. Looks nice! Anyone here?

I’m guessing that it was a US car or the owner really likes side marker lights.

Most certainly a US re-import. Warts and PORSCHE letters on the engine grille are a dead giveaway.

What a perfect car for that location.

I learned something new. Until now I didn't know that the grille lettering wasn't factory!

Yeah, but where's his surboard?

A surfboard for that break would be longer than the car itself. We visited there about 5 years ago. Seriously impressive.

Nice paint scheme, except for the side decals.

I couldn’t agree more. Beautiful weather and nice, curvy roads with gorgeous vistas.

Actually the boards are not that long but super heavy.That wave is mostly a “tow-in” wave.you can’t paddle fast enough to catch them. Normally you do use a longer big wave “gun” for paddle in waves.

The grille lettering was factory in US, but not in Europe.

The lettering is factory, but for the US market only. RoW did not have the lettering.

I was gonna say that....It'd need to be towing a jet ski for those waves

I went on a "Camino" and stopped there. Unbelievable country but that was before the pandemic in 2018.

That is great country for a 914.

You're a walking 914 Wikipedia @SirAndy . Ten years ago when I listed my VIN for the '73 you told me that it was one of a group that was destined for EU delivery but was re-routed to the USA. Where do you get all this information?

I did not know that. I knew they used jet skis for towing and retrieval, but I didn't realize they weren't like the big elephant guns of old (like Bradshaw and that crew).


It is. We also spent a few days on the island of Madeira. Beautiful island with a very temperate climate. I think the average low / high there is like 65 / 84 all year round. Although there is some humidity. There are some serious twisties on that island up and over the mountains.
