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! 🔥

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. 👌👍

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

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

That is where the wipers parked from the factory on a 914. They are a little high, but otherwise stock.

Iv been waiting min 25 years for a project on my favorite Porsche 914. Well done and thank you for sharing

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

What I like most about this is the proper steering wheel, no messy airbags in the way. Looks awesome.

It hurts, how nice this is.

I feel your pain too...this thing is achingly beautiful!

Looks great! I understand a desire to keep some proprietary aspects of the build, but it would be nice to see it on a lift, and under the hood and engine lid.

That is such a lovley restomod sound and looks spot on in my eyes 😊

Steering wheel is on the wrong side but everything else is 10/10

What an absolute riot! Usually restomods can look a bit odd but this thing looks modern without losing the 914 essence. Amazing work!!

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!

Trademark 914.6 leave it lmao

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!

I have a 914 in my garage. Talk about inspirational! I can’t stop watching this.

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.

Grafting a 914 to a Cayman?! Pure genius. What a fantastic idea! You guys are imaginative. Brilliant. Just brilliant.

914s are going to come back in favor

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

wow wow wow !!!! I love how he rebuild its design!

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 😊

The front and back remind me of replacement bumper kits that still need painting. Nice work though

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

Looks like it'd be a weapon on hill-climbs! Love it!

Beyond awesome. Laugh out loud brilliant. I want this very badly. This is why I buy lottery tickets.

What a cute beautiful car mate.

Very well executed. Looks fabulous

What a gorgeous car, and that sound!!! Love it!

Awesome car and built by a proper motor sport company I would love it if you did another video but on a track sliding it around please

What a beauty!

Beautiful - great engineering and fabrication.

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!

The car looks and sounds amazing.

Insane! Very nice

Love this! Perfect balance of new and retro

Awesome! Love it

Sounds freaking awesome

Most Excellent! 👍

Love it! What a fun drivers car. I’d love one.

That is a thing of beauty. The 914 has always been my second favourite Porsche. I would love to have this

Looks stunning, love it!

Stunning.

Terrific vid guys 👍 Would love to get behind the wheel and enjoy the experience.

Excellent design.

beautiful!!

Beautiful build.

I LOVE IT!

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.

Normally nobody said nine-one-four in Germany...we say nine-fourteen, like nine eleven and not nine one one ❕😜 But nice build and video ❣️👌🏼 Love from Berlin 🇩🇪 Ramsi 🙋🏻‍♂️😘

Beautiful build. I love it.

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.

Wow!!! This is nice

Restomod is the best of both World 👍 yes please

What a lovely design

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

this thing is incredible

Very nicely done

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.

What a beauty!!!❤

I love it!! Very cool!!

Lovely!

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...

Stunningly, achingly beautiful...what a car!

What a dreamcar!

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

Luv it!

Really beautiful bet its a blast to drive

Best looking 914 I’ve ever seen!

Awesome! 🤩

Wow! LOVE it! One super hot car. Only thing I don’t love are the wipers. Have to do something about those.

What a cracking car, love it’s simplicity. I’d have mine in a real 70s/retro colour! As soon as carbon fibre is mentioned I presume it’s a £200k+ car?

Nice spotted in Sheffield abit back super cool 914.

This build speaks to me:)

Oooh that is super cooL!

I'd love to see a video of that car on a track.

One of the great features of the original 914 is the targa roof that you can stow away in the trunk. Does that still apply?

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