Description
Available in paperback here, the Porsche 914: An Enthusiast’s Guide is a 160-page comprehensive look at the history, development, and ownership of the mid-engined 914.
The book also explores the ins and outs of buying, owning, and maintaining one of the most controversial models in Porsche history. At the time of its development back in the late 1960s, it was considered sheer heresy for Porsche to develop a new model at odds with its iconic 911 — much less a model with its engine not slung out over the rear axle. Blasphemy!
Porsche 914: An Enthusiast’s Guide illustrates how the mighty Porsche 914 is considered a present-day, yet timeless classic that continues to appreciate in value to this day. Despite its controversial reception way back in the day when introduced, the 914 continues to endure and win over converts because of its low-slung looks and bright colors — which render the 1970s 914 period-perfect.
This is a book that will appeal to any car enthusiast or Porschephile interested in this quirky little Porsche 914 model that propped up sales for both Porsche and VW at the time of the 914’s release. The book is definitely suitable for any Porsche fan’s coffee table or library collection.
“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.”
