I just read that a very small number of 914s were fitted with an optional Sportomatic semi-automatic transmission.
Has anyone ever seen one? Pictures? Thanks! |

I've seen several 914-6 Sportos. (I believe that 25 of them were made, not counting prototypes.) Never seen a four-cylinder one, and I'm not at all convinced that there was ever one made in series production.

But They never made it into production. Same for the Webaso heater. There are part numbers in PET, but no 914 ever had one. Clay |

My father had a corvair when we moved to Ohio. He found a webaso heater from a wrecked VW bus and installed it in the corvair. It made life easier in the Ohio winter. |
