Riassunto

Perceived as a reasonably-priced entry level model for Porsche, the 914's early history was blighted by political problems with VW's new management. However, by the end of production, almost 119,000 examples had been sold. This book records the full international story of the mid-engined 914, from concept through to the final production car, illustrated throughout with contemporary material. Today, the 914, the "Cinderella" Porsche, is an affordable and practical classic.
