1972 PORSCHE 914-6 2.0L Serial number: 9142430212 Collector's registration Completely restored a few years ago French origin Matching Numbers 50 000 / 70 000€ Without reserve Born of a marriage between Porsche and Volkswagen, the 914 is a sporty little roadster with a singular history. After the success of the Beetle (thanks in no small part to Ferdinand Porsche), the two German brands joined forces once again to renew their range. While Volkswagen needed to find a successor to its Karmann Ghia, Porsche didn't have the resources to develop a new car on its own, more affordable than its new 911. The result of this alliance is the 914, with its 4-cylinder and 6-cylinder engines. The former is built entirely at the Karmann coachbuilder. For the 6-cylinder version, Porsche ordered the bodies and fitted the engine at its Zuffenhausen plant. Produced over just three years, the 914/6 uses the 2.0-liter engine from its illustrious sibling, the 911 T. Developing 110 hp, it perfectly powers this small roadster weighing just 940 kg. Unfortunately, the 914/6's career didn't get off the ground, due to its high retail price and head-on competition from a more formal 911. Our example is one of the last to come off the production line, the last being the 9142430240 chassis. Delivered new to the Avignon dealership on May 1, 1972, it came in light ivory with a black leatherette interior. A configuration it still wears today. After a quiet first life, our car took part in numerous autocross races with its second owner. As his vehicle became less competitive, he stored it in a barn. It wasn't until 2016 that the current owner discovered it. He then undertook a complete restoration in his own workshops. Proof of the brand's reliability, this beautiful 914/6 still has its original engine, completely rebuilt during the restoration. Recently, 4 new tires were fitted and the carburetors adjusted by specialist Phil Bug. Accompanied by its Porsche certificate, this car is now just waiting for an enthusiast to once again take to the magnificent roads of Provence, a region it has never left. 1972 PORSCHE 914-6 2.0L Serial number: 9142430212 Collector's registration Fully restored a few years ago French origin Matching Numbers 50 000 / 70 000€ No reserve Born of a marriage between Porsche and Volkswagen, the 914 is a sporty little roadster with a singular history.
