I wonder if the photos inside have been reproduced much better than the original? I have both Haynes and Clymer originals, and the quality of the paper and and photo reproduction leaves much to be desired. A new updated version would be worth purchase, but only if the quality has been improved. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cheer.gif)

over the years the photos got worse and worse, I doubt if this one has anything better, too bad someone does not have access to the original artwork. But then again everything is on line so few really look at a manual. Even the Porsche factory manuals are reprints with lousy photos and black and white wiring diagrams (black and white wiring diagrams? What are they thinking?)

Maybe they are thinking we are blind?

A new fresh 914 repair book would be great

Truly new pub (with updated content) or just a new cover on old stuff?
