True, at 0-100km/hr in 13.3 sec a 1.7L 914/4 could only be a nostalgia piece. A 1985 turbo VW Golf diesel that I keep as a 'nostalgia' piece could probably match it - but may have to be going downhill and with the wind :)

I'd have bought it on the spot if it were on my side of the Atlantic ocean, even if it's a 914/4. This is a small piece of history that deserves to be preserved. Then again I'm the perfect target for that since I'm both a car enthusiast and appreciative of Sagan.

Porsche collectors wont touch it, because to them its a worthless vw. Volkswagen collectors rather have a bug, or Ghia. Thus due to being ugly fake Porsche its worth even less than Karmann Ghia or even nice Beetle.
is not, its a 914/4
