Description
Teston Classic Car is pleased to present, as intermediary, this magnificent 1971 Porsche 914 1. 7, an example with documented history, extensive work carried out and offering an excellent foundation for any classic Porsche enthusiast.
History:
This Porsche has a coherent and reassuring history. The current owner has owned it for 5 years. He acquired it from a previous owner based in Gap, who had kept it for nearly 10 years. This continuity of ownership, accompanied by a file of invoices, testifies to serious maintenance over the years.
Mechanical Condition:
Extensive work has been carried out to improve the reliability and road handling of the vehicle: Suspension completely overhauled. Gearbox serviced with replacement of synchronisers. Twin-choke carburettors. Starter motor replaced. Recent alternator. Shock absorbers replaced. New Bilstein rear dampers. Reinforced and new steering track rods. The vehicle starts perfectly and runs correctly.
Bodywork:
The overall presentation is very well maintained. The paintwork was completely refinished approximately one year ago and presents a fine appearance. The bonnet features black protective film, giving it a sporty touch whilst protecting the paint.
Points to Address:
Some work remains to be carried out on the engine to optimise its performance and ensure optimal reliability over time.
Key Strengths:
Documented ownership history spanning nearly 15 years. File of maintenance invoices. Suspension completely restored. Gearbox serviced with new synchronisers. Twin-choke carburettors. New Bilstein rear dampers. Reinforced steering track rods. Recent starter motor and alternator. Recent complete respray. Reinforced chassis.
Our Assessment:
This Porsche 914 1. 7 represents an excellent opportunity for an enthusiast wishing to acquire an example with documented history and extensive work already completed. The most significant investments have already been made to the chassis, transmission and much of the mechanical components. This 914 will deliver all the driving pleasure that accounts for the growing success of this iconic model in the Porsche range.
