Well, I got into this 914 thing while looking for one of these - a Lotus Europa. this photo isn't the best of breed IMHO, though it is a clean, original, early one.
I decided against it because many Lotus shops and POs that I spoke with told me that they were awful to own and very fragile in many repects. To me the 914 is kind of like a Europa that had a pragmatic german designer correct its flaws - and some of its charm.
