THE GOLD CUP CLASSICS AUCTION - OULTON PARK GOLD CUP

1973 Porsche 914/ 4

Registration - SCW 476L
Chassis No. - the details below
M. O. T. - April 2023
Odometer - 95000

Porsche’s first mid-engined road car – preceding the Boxster by 27 years - is a rare sight on UK road. Indeed, the vendor believes ‘SCW 476’ is one of only 26 such examples currently in use on our island and one of just five red ones. Manufactured in 1973 and powered by a 1. 7-litre version of Volkswagen’s flat-four engine of 80bhp, the car has just returned from a specialist in classic air-cooled models, who carried out a full mechanical overhaul on it, following a period of neglect by the previous keeper. The vendor now views the engine and five-speed manual transmission as ‘excellent’ and the Targa bodywork, red paintwork and black interior trim as ‘average’. The original instrument cluster has been replaced by a fully restored set imported from the USA, but he believes the odometer reading of 95, 452 is a true reflection of the car’s mileage to date.

By the late 1960s, Porsche needed to replace its 912, while Volkswagen required a substitute for the Karmann Ghia. The companies agreed to collaborate and the 914/ 4 and 914/ 6 were born in 1969. A mid-engined chassis was penned and manufactured by Karmann Ghia. Examples to be sold by Volkswagen (914/ 4) were equipped with a 1. 7-litre version of the company’s air-cooled flat-four unit, while those destined for Porsche showrooms (914/ 6) were fitted with the same 2. 0-litre flat-six engine as used in the 911T. Both cars utilised the 911’s ‘901’ gearbox. Though the quicker and better handling of the two cars, the 914/ 6 suffered from slow sales and was discontinued in 1972 after a production run of some 3, 350 cars. The gap in the line-up was filled by a 2. 0-litre Volkswagen-engined version. 914/ 4 production ceased in 1976 after in excess of 115, 646 examples had been made, making it Porsche’s best-selling model of the time.

In summary:

Has just been treated to a full mechanical overhaul
Thought to be one of just 26 914/ 4s currently on UK roads
Comes complete with an MOT valid into April 2023

Estimate
£14, 000 - £18, 000
