DESCRIPTION

Needing a replacement for the 912, Porsche worked in collaboration with Volkswagen to produce the 914, with the resulting model being launched in 1969. With excellent weight distribution and superb structural rigidity it was said to equal a 911 coupe despite being a Targa. Sales continued until 1976 when the model was replaced by the 924.

This striking Canary Yellow Porsche 914 was imported in to the UK earlier this year having been subject to a complete restoration by its previous owner in the USA.

The vendor informs us that the car was stripped to a bare shell and rebuilt by the previous owner in the USA using new parts where necessary. This renovation also included repainting the car in the fantastic Canary Yellow (L11E) with matching Targa panel it is presented in today. We are also told that the engine was similarly subject to a thorough rebuild along with all auxiliaries in the USA.

Presented with a UK V5C, MoT Certificate along with a Porsche Letter of Origin and the original service maintenance book. The Porsche 914 is often an overlooked model in the Porsche marque but are a joy to drive and this car is now ready to start a new life here in the UK.
