·I have been trying to find a good one - in the right sort of colour - for over three years: it's more difficult here in England than some might imagine if you're strict about budget and not willing to accept something unoriginal or poorly 'restored.' I vividly remember how impressed I was with this model when it was first launched and I've loved them ever since, even though some will regard them as 'soft.' But, particularly in the funky colours I like - orange - yellow - green - the 914 is especially evocative of that specific era, and, every time I drive/sit in one, I feel at least 45 years younger! I've not seen many in black, but if you can't have a 'funky,' it's probably one of the best alternatives, so good luck!
'cos here in England they're going into silly money territory, sucked in by the aircooled 911 vacuum. I didn't understand the 914 first time around and though I can now see the appeal but would rather put the money into a 928 (at quite the opposite end of the simplicity - complexity spectrum). It may be worth restating for our American readers that our basically maritime climate means that old cars just rust away.
