The Porsche 914 was a collaboration by Porsche and Volkswagen and launched in 1970 as an entry level 2 seat, mid-engine sports car as was also known as the VW-Porsche. The car was designed with a long wheelbase to allow for a good-sized cabin with the engine located just behind the rear bulkhead. The car featured short overhangs, pop-up headlights, a removable composite targa roof panel and storage areas both front and rear (basically a very early Boxster). The 914 was available with either Volkswagens 1.7 litre four-cylinder boxser engine producing 80PS or with Porsches 2.0 litre six-cylinder engine from the 911 T producing 110PS, this variant being referred to as the 914-6 and was only produced from 1970 to 1972. In 1973, a 2.0 litre four-cylinder model based on the 1.7 VW producing 100PS was made available which was followed with a 1.8 litre, 85PS four-cylinder option. The four-cylinder models were fitted with a four-stud wheel pattern and manufactured by coachbuilder Karmann at their Osnabruck factory. The six-cylinder models were fitted with a five-stud wheel pattern and were built at its main production site in Stuttgart. Finding a good useable example of a genuine 914-6 these days is not an easy task and should you be fortunate enough to find one for sale, they command a high premium thanks to their low production numbers and their mechanical connection the their bigger brother the 1970s 911 which makes them hugely collectible today. The base car for this build was a 914 2.0 originally supplied in 1975 to a buyer in New Mexico where it remained until around 1990 when it was sold to a new owner in Arizona. In 2020, the car became the subject of a 914-6 conversion by Ben Mcfarland at 914-6 Werkshop in 2000. Ben sourced a 1974 911S 2.7 engine which had covered 74,000 miles which was then stripped down and rebuilt before being fitted to the car. Additional conversion work included the 914-6 GT-pattern oil-cooler from Patric Motorsports installed in the front compartment, Bosch K-Jetronic fuel injection system replaced with twin carburettors, a 911 front suspension swap including 911S light-alloy brake calipers and rear hub upgrade to accommodate a set of 15 light alloy FUCH wheels and a custom stainless steel header and exhaust. Internally, the 914 received re-trimmed basket weave seats and door trims, a new replacement dashboard, re-built centre console and a new carpet set whilst the exterior was re-finished in a fresh coat of Mars Red paint. Once the work was completed and following 4000 miles of shake-down and adjustment to ensure all was good, the car was sold to a new owner based in Michigan around 2004 who owned the car until 2011 when it was purchased by the next owner in Arizona. In 2011, the car was advertised for sale on the US auction site bring a trailer and purchased by UK air-cooled specialists Greatworth Classics in Banbury who imported the 914 and had it registered for UK use. The car was purchased from Greatworth Classics in July 2019 by the current owner and a
