The 914-6 was Porsche's foil to criticism raised that the 914 was lacking in performance. With the sonorous flat 6 110 bhp boxer engine from the 911T mounted amidships, Porsche had unwittingly produced one of its best handling cars to date, often embarrassing its 911 stablemates on track. Introduced to the UK in 1969 with a price tag of £3,475, nearly 50% more than the Jaguar E-type, sales were, unsurprisingly, rather slow. Built between 1969 and 1972, with a total production run of only 3,360 and a growing recognition of how competent these little Porsches are, 914-6s prices a surely only going in one direction?

Supplied in 1970 by the renowned Sonauto Porsche dealership in Paris, responsible for developing the Le Mans-winning 914-6 GT, this Adriatic Blue Porsche/Volkswagen benefits from a dealer uprated engine producing 160 bhp. Currently fitted with a close ratio gearbox, lower final drive, and a great sounding sports exhaust, HUI 9146 is more than capable of leaving similarly aged 911s trailing in its wake. Imported by the current custodian in 2001, this unrestored car has benefitted from being dry-stored and only ever used on fine days, avoiding the fate of many 914s and 914-6s, the dreaded tin-worm. Believed to still retain the factory-applied paint from over 47 years ago, there cannot be many 914-6s boasting such originality. Supplied with the standard gearbox and differential in case a new owner should wish to return the car to standard, this mid-engined 70's Porsche/Volkswagen rarity comes with large history file, a MoT valid until May next year, and a speedo trip showing only 55,000 kms.
