A brand new, much enlarged reworking of Brian Long's highly regarded masterwork, now in color throughout and completely updated. THE definitive history of the Cinderella Porsche. The 914 and 914/6 have now become respected and established classics. Includes expert advice on buying and restoring. Includes 914 and 914/6 in international racing and rallying. Produced with the full assistance of Porsche. Respected automotive historian Brian Long has written nine major books on Porsche models. Over 230 illustrations, mainly in color. Covers all Porsche 914 and 914-6 models. Extensive appendices packed with useful data. Description Perceived as a reasonably priced entry level model for Porsche, the 914's early history was blighted by political problems with VWs new management. However, by the end of production, almost 119,000 examples had been sold. This book records the full international story of the mid-engined 914, from concept through to the final production car, illustrated throughout with contemporary material. Today the 914 is an affordable and practical classic. Synopsis Launched in 1969, the 914 series went through many problems and many changes before production came to an end in 1976. It was constantly improved during its short life, but time just ran out for the model. It is interesting to note that until the Boxster made its debut, it remained Porsches only mid-engined production car, although the companys racing models had been built with this layout for some years. The 914 also had a fine competition history something that is often overlooked or run down because it wasn't as brilliant as that of the 911s. But by normal standards, it was indeed a fine history. There were also a large number of specials built on the 914 chassis, and both of these aspects have been covered in detail. The 914 series has often been cited as the forgotten Porsche, but there is a growing band of enthusiasts who only have eyes for the model. The handling is of course a major factor contributing towards the enjoyment of the type, but a large number of people like the styling, and the fact that for so many years this was the most affordable of all Porsche's to own and run. Now the times have changed and the model has appreciated, not only in value, but in terms of awareness as well. The 914/6 has become particularly desirable, and it is hoped that this book will go some way towards explaining the 914s various merits.

Photography by Tom Gidden, courtesy of RM Sotheby’s Turning any vehicle into an art car of any substance is bound to draw stares. I’ve seen several in person, from the three BMWs at the Petersen Museum through all of 2016, to clapped-out jalopies where owners have gone wild with the crazy glue. In any case, once a vehicle’s artfully-sculpted curves are given a contrasting livery, its look changes completely. This is definitely the case once Peter Klasen had finished with this particular canvas, an early 1965 Porsche 911. It’s a 911 that’s undoubtedly seen a few things in its life. It was turned into the art car you see here in 2009; fully race-prepared, it’s essentially a canvas you can hop inside and set lap times…or, of course, to just look at. Following the RM Sotheby’s description, its history as a classic car skips from its last Kardex entry in 1967 to 2009, when its finished paint job was signed by Klasen.
