SFO, protruding sills... REALLY..? As a Morgan driver you should be well practised enough to clear the Porsches little sills without a second thought....(-:
Dean, I suspect there is no such thing as a cheap Porsche and more so an old Porsche given the parts prices for the cheapest Porsche will be rather expensive, but the way Morgan seems to wish to be seen as an up market brand, the days of cheap and cheerful simple plucky little Brit sports car, may be in the process of demise...? I thought the 928 a worthy successor to the 911, A pal of mine ran a manual 928 on which I did a bit of work over the years. The complaint that it was water cooled and too large and comfort orientated to be a sports car, kinda raises the possibility that Porsche engineers may have been ahead of the game back then given water cooling became a must in time, and given the dimensions driving aids and creature comforts of modern-day 911 derivatives....?
Sportster, I never liked the 914 neither did the UK market in general, it was ever thought to be more VW than Porsche at the time, it`perhaps gained a bit more acceptance but not by much as the 914/6 when it increased the cylinder numbers from four to six. Today..? I suspect as ever rarity and the Porsche name combined may make it seem interesting, but for me it was the angular aspects of it`s form that I found unattractive, I thought the VW Karmann Ghia was a much more attractive proposition of that era..
