15 year old itch now scratched

Post by ThreeTwo »

When I started as RO of Central in the late 90s one of the most regular members who turned up to just about everything was Tom in his 914 - which he still owns to this day. He also has a 914-6

This is a quirky car that I have always had an itch for...now some 15 years latter or so the itch is scratched!!

Looks nice Paul. I've looked at 914's a lot over the last couple of years but never got round to buying one :(

Good luck with it

Thanks. It is so much fun!!

'Until recently' - you are not wrong! A few years ago I could have bought a 914 like this one for maybe 3.5k!! Certainly being appreciated more these days and therefore appreciating significantly in value!!

Really hard to get an agreed value for insurance on these cars...
