Description
The VW-Porsche 914 is one of those atypical cars that we like to (re)discover and that leaves no one indifferent... Presented in 1969 at Frankfurt, this model was to evolve until 1976. Originating in the United States, the TARGA model offered here is from September 1975, equipped with a 2. 0 4-cylinder flat engine and 5-speed gearbox. Initially imported into Belgium, it was then purchased by its current owner a few years ago and returned to its European configuration.
Put back on the road in 2021, it has undergone a great deal of refurbishment: disc brakes / brake pads, tyres, starter, driver's door key cylinder, electric wiring harness, headlight mechanism, spark plugs, filters and oils, partial body painting in its original red colour; gearbox and engine overhaul, seats, carpets and interior sky at Terriou (91) in 2022, overhaul at Miramond Dan-Auto (75) in 12/ 20424, replacement of the left rear suspension wishbone and 4 stabiliser links in April 2025 - over €13, 000 worth of invoices (available). The MOT dated 09/ 04/ 25 is clean, and there are no water ingresses above the battery (which could create a chain reaction of corrosion from the battery tray to the right-hand side rail). The vehicle starts, brakes and drives perfectly. However, there are a few defects that need to be rectified if the vehicle is to be faultless: a slight scratch on the right-hand rear wing and a very slight dent in the boot.
