Running a brand new set of 40 IDF Weber carburettors and Bluetooth 123 electronic ignition
New seats and door cards handcrafted by the owner's wife
Comprehensive history file with extensive paperwork

The Appeal

The Porsche 914/4 is a criminally under-appreciated gem in the classic Porsche lineup.

Mid-engined and blessed with an exceedingly short wheelbase, these cars handle superbly and are immense fun to drive. This 1972 example benefits from a recent bare metal respray, the fitment of new Weber carbs and a modern 123 electronic ignition system with Bluetooth control. The interior has also received attention, with new seats and door cards handcrafted by the vendor's wife.

While it does reportedly require professional tuning and balancing of the new Webers, it presents a fantastic opportunity for the next owner to enjoy a classic Porsche that's rapidly growing in popularity.
