Bodies were in white (ivory). Please read. This is from the 50 Years Porsche 914 page 107. Explains how cars were to be painted.

I don't understand the comparison photos of the handbrake recess.
what's the issue ? The antenna hole is on the wrong fender. Didn't 916 have the antenna in the windshield ? |

It's been at Canepa since shortly after it was purchased. I spotted it in one of their IG stories a few months back.

Bodies were in white (ivory). Please read. This is from the 50 Years Porsche 914 page 107. Explains how cars were to be painted. I read they were all bodies in white but Brutus. Brutus is indeed a prototype, as it started as a 914-6, had a 914-6 serial number, and was made into a 916 by the factory, and never sold new by Porsche" |

so why didn't Porsche buy it before it was restored the first time ?
you would have imagined a car of this significance should have come to their attention through the 914 grapevine it would have been a nice addition to their 914 50th celebrations in June cheers Dennis (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |

RD sells this one , with early indentation;;; Well, at least something besides the side-shift transmission on my '73 is '73—literally everything else I have come across is 1972...doors, windows, top, rain tray, headlight switch, and a bunch of other stuff is all 1972 gear. 4732900193 What I am not getting is it looks like there are three indentations? Mine, the yellow one, and the one in Brutus (which looks like the RD piece?). |

The Brutus indent doesn't look like either of the others to me. It's not as angular as the late one or as short as the early one. |

Black one seems to have similar shape to yellow but definitely dips a lot lower. Didn't know there were two versions, let alone three. Not sure I care all that much, or would be bothered to change a longitudinal to address it (assuming nothing else wrong), but that's probably why I am not into concours. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) I do find it interesting, however. Wonder why the RD longs are shaped differently than either of the factory longs? Attached image(s) |
