1970 PORSCHE 914/6

KEY FACTS

• A subtly upgraded version of the renowned Porsche 914/6, in the sought-after Irish Green colour, and in excellent overall condition.
• The car was upgraded in 1972 to have the 2.2-litre flat-six engine from a 911 S, producing up to 155hp, coupled to a five-speed short-shift dog-leg manual gearbox.
• It was acquired by the vendor in 2010, overhauled at Hartmann and Köster in 2012 and is now fresh from a recent service.
• The car is believed to have only four owners from new.

EQUIPMENT AND FEATURES

• This Porsche 914/6 features Irish Green paintwork, black leatherette upholstery and a dealer-installed air conditioning system.
• It now rides slightly lower than standard, also featuring aftermarket Talbot mirrors, a sports exhaust and a set of wider Continental tyres.
• Its original owner’s manuals will be included, along with its Porsche Certificate of Authenticity, various TÜV certificates and a power chart from the 2012 engine overhaul.

CONDITION

• There is no known prior bodywork damage.
• Its resprayed Irish Green paintwork is in excellent condition, with a few stone chips on the front end and one small scratch on the hard-top roof.
• A paint depth chart is included in the listing gallery.
• Some minor blemishes can be seen on the black bumper trims.
• Inside, the black leatherette seats feature a few very minor creases, but are generally in impressive order, and the three-spoke steering wheel has some appealing age-related ‘patina’.
• No electrical issues have been detected, and the car is reported to be in very good mechanical order.

SERVICE HISTORY

• Its most recent service was in August 2021.
• The engine overhaul was performed in 2012 at Hartmann & Köster in Bielefeld, Germany.

SUMMARY

This Porsche 914/6 is a very good example of the classic mid-engined sports car, featuring a more powerful 911 S engine upgrade from the same era, and a handsome period-correct colour scheme. Fresh from a recent service, it would make a rewarding companion for weekend drives on winding country roads, and a smart addition to any collection.
