Perhaps these "classics" would make you nostalgic for the days when you'd dare call the 914s' "styling" "awkward". Compared to many of todays' automotive styling exercises, I'd say the 914 is an example of restraint, clarity and purposeful design.

Look at old VW scene, how many of todays economy cars will have that kind of following or aftermarket? I know all sports cars will have peeps restoring them, but how many rusty miata's do you think will get rebuilt like ours do?
The only ugly comments I hear are are about the front marker lights:) |

I know all sports cars will have peeps restoring them, but how many rusty miata's do you think will get rebuilt like ours do? I agree, except for the comment about the Miatas. I bet that 30 years from now thre will be a very active Miata group that is larger then the 914 world. They are already 10 years old, and are just as popular as ever. Zach |
