I don’t know why people don’t like nor talk about the 914!!! I loved it since i was a kid, and it was the first non-Italian car i recognized by the sound. I closed my eyes and listened to the sound of the engine of cars passing by, and recognized more than 70-80% and i was 5 years old. It has become my passion and job sound tuning cars… so thanks for bringing back those great memories 👍🏼

I work in Bakewell literally down the road from Fifteen Eleven and see this car being driven by Ben quite often, I actually have an A3 sketch on my wall as I like it so much, always makes me smile.

This is the coolest 914 I’ve ever seen. Love it! 🔥

That’s the best restomod of a 914 I’ve ever seen

Memories...memories..it remember me my 914/2,0 SC 1973 with Alu polished Fuchs Wheels. Plus they kept 914 "natural balance" with super engine and gearbox 6.... Amazing.. job...what a reborn !!! Love it. 👌👍

Internal combustion, manual, analog gauges, and NO SCREENS. This thing is awesome! 👍

Love it! Am I the only one who can't stop looking at the wiper position? Can't un see it 🙈

Absolute Stunner. I love the 914 look and those mods are exactly what it needed.

I love the much maligned 914’s. This thing is Cracking, as they say!

Had a 71 914 , the most pleasurable car I ever drove . From Chicago to Phoenix . You could actually over speed the headlights . Late at night 10 feet of Light

What a truly STUNNING looking car! Plus basically 400bhp per ton? That must be a very, very cool and VERY rapid car and i bet it corners crazy quick too!

heck yeah I've been looking at these in the states and 944's but I think these 914's restored would look great although I don't have the talent to mod it like these guys lol

Oh my, my. If only my 1972 914-4 was that. It has been quite a fifty plus personal car journey to my current AMG. For me, two door German coupes are the only way to fly (albeit on the road). Thanks for such a great video!

I really love the widebody, has a great stance. I would prefer full black in and out and I think the loss of the pop ups actually makes it look sleeker, nice looking car. Anymore than 400 hp per ton would be extreme 😊

Lovely to see a 914 getting the love it deserves. Maybe they can do something with those windshield wipers..?

It is a thumbs up from me, looks an awesome car.

Absolutely fantastic car, an amazing project. Being ever so picky, I’m not quite sure the hooded headlights in the wings are quite right, I think if they added a glass covers it would be perfect. Really nice review also great to see the back end of little Irish.

I am just blown away by the dedication that went into the build. I was very interested first time I saw it in print. I do hope there is the market in the Porsche universe for this interesting and different take, I suspect those with 911s will love this to add to their collection as a fascinating talking point and a different type of drive. The engine choice was close to my heart and my first Porsche was a Boxster S 3.4 which seemed to have a particularly racy engine to me, so good choice. I have just got back into Porsche selling my Evora to fund a 997.1 C2S which I hope to evolve over time in a same way you have developed Little Irish. Your passion shines through keep up the great work and if you ever stop at the Kirkstile pub, my local near Loweswater in the Lake District, I'll buy you a pint. @@9WERKSTV

These were exactly my thoughts, too. I have never been a fan of the 914 (while I am very fond of contemporary Porsches as well as the Karmann Ghia), but this restomod looks really good inside and out - I definitely like it. And the redesigned front facia is indeed quite an improvement in comparison to the original design - apart from the hooded headlights which give the impression that something is missing there.

Stunning.

These cars are great fun to drive stock. I can only imagine what they would be like modernized like the one in this video. Beautiful car!

Beautiful - great engineering and fabrication.

914s are going to come back in favor

I doubt it. Unfortunately it will always be overshadowed by the 911.

I love it!! Very cool!!

I love it except the headlights in blinker pods. Should have wired the driving lights to be the headlights or keep the pop-ups. Or at the very least, put a clear lens over the headlights as-is to give it a smoother, more aero-oem look.

Wow!!! This is nice

I have been dreaming of doing this for quite some time. Sort of a Singer envisioning of a 914, great job!

I wish I could give you guys 10 thumbs up. Gorgeous car…great review.

this thing is incredible

Never liked those, but this is something else in terms of uniqueness ❤. I actually love how it looks.

This is my dreamcar ! I had 3x 914s with 2 liter engines in the 70 years, two were 914-6 Bj 72 with consecutive chassis numbers! One was a narrow design, the other had the original factory widening with 7/8 inch tires. I should never have sold...

Awesome! 🤩

Beautiful build.

Love it!!!!

What a beauty!!!❤

Really beautiful bet its a blast to drive

Never in my life did I think the largely unloved and weird looking 914 would become a trendy proposition.

Oooh that is super cooL!

Stunningly, achingly beautiful...what a car!

The most critical design flaw are the seats. The upholstery looks cheap, and the seat design does not fit the car. Personally I would stick with nice upholstered Scheel 101, or Recaro Classic.

@dogger37JC

4 ай бұрын

Yea they don’t fit the interior at all. They should design their own seat that’s based off of the original but better. Same with the rest of the interior. It looks like they spent all of their budget on the exterior and just threw the interior together last minute. Maybe 20 years ago it would be okay but with how many top companies are building cars like this now, it’s not up to the standard.

I have loved the shape and the idea of the 914 since the begining. To me it is a perect sports car and now it has the power to match the best of them. I am absolutely sure that there is a market for a good old fashioned pure mechanical sports car such as a 914 or a Jensen Healey. Good show.

Magic car!

Bravo!

Very nice car

Beautiful. Looks like the shifter could move forward a couple of inches.

Beautiful car, and really neat concept - I sure wish we could have seen underneath it with closer detail shots.

ooohh...I'd love one of them in Guard's Red,Including Bumper's of course,..Ha! Nice.

Gorgeous conversion. Aside from the wipers my only reservation is the front end treatment which looks a little too much Smart Roadster-esque, maybe some body colour on the light bezels/bumper would remove that impression.

I will have dreams about this car!!

I have an E46 M3 cabriolet but would take one of these in a heartbeat!

Perfect ❤
