After the War, Ferdinand Porsche, spent several years in a French prison. It was during this time he designed the Citroen 2CV “automobile” as war-reparations. (Deux-Chevaux).

Always wanted both a Karmann-Ghia and the bus I did have a 914.

Had two 914/6 Porsches--one for show, and a subsequent one for racing. Both since sold, in favor of a 1991 BMW M3--also sold.

A Fort Lauderdale friend raced his 914 with a 2.7 engine in it. THAT was the way to go!

The six must have been fun. Alas I had the 1.7. It was still a blast and handled like a race car. (owning a Porsche is like having children, you don’t know till you’ve had one)
