The Appeal

The Porsche 914/6 occupies a special place in the marque's history. Produced in far smaller numbers than its four-cylinder sibling, the flat-six-powered 914/6 has become one of the more collectible mid-engined Porsches of the early 1970s, prized for its balanced handling and mechanical pedigree. This 1972 example is made all the more distinctive by its wide-body configuration, lending it considerable visual presence and further rarity.

Lightly modified for VHRS historic rally use, this 914/6 is reported to be well suited to both spirited road use and competitive rally events. It has been regularly maintained, with a file of invoices documenting its upkeep, and is accompanied by expert appraisal documentation valuing it at €100,000. With matching serial numbers and a current Contrôle Technique, this is a compelling proposition for collectors and historic rally enthusiasts seeking one of Porsche's most characterful and increasingly scarce models.
