914-Flat-8, Porsche 914 with a 908 3li engine Options

914 F8:

Here are some photos of the 914-8 with the factory908 engine installed tight fit.
Nice car: it has a lot of extra goodies that make it unique.
Headlights are two light per side.
I like the outside fuel filler cap, I did the same thing on my 914, it beats opening the trunk every time for gas.
Also the gear shifter rod runs in front of the passenger seat out towards the door and then runs back to the trans.

If any ones has any more photos that would be great to see them.

Enjoy

minor hijack for something of interest. note the shape of the fender at the turn signal, and the lense too. did #4 have euro lenses? back to your previously scheduled programing. k

The 914-8 was a pre 914, Chassis #914111, I think they produced many one off's for the car.
The front fender is round and the front lens has a lift instead of a curve shape like the current 914's have.

In the Big 914 book from Germany you can see the clay mock up of this idea.

I do not understand the #4 question about euro lens.
In Europe the 914 front turn signal lens is two colors, Bottom white for the driving light used in the cities and the amber/yellow for the turn signal.
In the rear Amber for turn signal and Red for brake and driving light or first position on the light switch.

I hope that I did not mess up your question to much.

Thanks
