Porsche 914: An Enthusiast’s Guide (Paperback)

As a present-day classic, although challenging to some, low-slung looks and bright colours make the 1970s 914 period-perfect. Combined with near-ideal weight distribution and a low centre of gravity, its mid-engine layout means the 914 can achieve cornering G-forces comparable to the contemporary 911. The 914 was seen as a car that could inject a shot of glamour into VW’s slightly worthy and dependable range of air-cooled cars.

Nice book for anyone who loves 914s

Typical layout with the usual preceding history and tangential models. Does a nice job of showing differences in model years and some nice pics of various owner’s cars. Also a good section on racing history. It’s a good read for relaxing and enjoying these fun little cars.
