Not sure what Porsche were thinking when they came up with that, and I can understand why someone would abandon it. The pretty little 356 coupe however is another thing. Why was it left to rot. Looks like the English salt has got to it. What rot you can see is bad enough, goodness knows what is underneath. While we are on the subject, could someone on here tell me exactly who the 914/6 was aimed at. Somebody must have 'loved' them, but who?
bry3500, where do you get all these pictures of relics from?...... Nostalgia.......
Yes, the 914/4 and 914/6 were both designed for niche market of overweight, middle aged, American male hairdressers werent they? Also loved by many an "autocrosser" - what were the engineers in Stuttgart thinking? Mind you, the same could be said of some of the factories efforts in the 1980's as well. I'll sit on the fence with the 356, its aesthetically pleasing, but Im not sure about the mechanicals. Maybe its just me, I just dont get whole Cabrio / Porsche thing. Now Spyders, thats something completely different
