Russell Aitken, the third owner of Champ Soleil, also enjoyed fine automobiles. He always drove to the Newport Country Club in a black Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud II convertible, with a black top and a red leather interior. This was in the late 70s. It was glorious. (I happened to caddy for the members). The owners of many of the cottages you have profiled were members of the club.

In 1970 I bought my Bright Yellow 914/6 off the showroom floor at Peter Fuller Porsche on Comm Ave in Boston, Put 70.000 miles on it before installing a 2.4 S engine and then another 70.000 miles. 4 trips across the country To Porsche Parades. Slap on a set of slicks and add straight pipes and it was a great track day car. The suspension and brakes were 911 parts in the six - different from the 4. ( thus the 5 bolt Fuchs wheels instead of the 4 bolt VW wheels on the 4 cylinder ) They only made 2,300 of them as opposed to 100.000 + of the 4 cylinder, Never should have sold it.

@JaHeHei 6 месяцев назад

This car was so underestimated. You see a 911 at every corner, but a 914/6 today is way more spectacular under classic cars.

I love these house/ car comparisons. I spent my entire life restoring historic homes and historic cars. Like Jay I appreciate tech but can't live with too much of it. In our case we have a rather large 18 room 6,000 sf 123 yr old historic mansion. I chose to remove the oil burner after burning 5,000 gals of oil and the house was still very cold and installed a 600,000 btu anthracite coal steam boiler! The coal fields are just up the road here in PA. The home is very warm with no outside wall insulation but when i remarried my wife requested a/c so I personally installed a Spac-Pac a.c system designed for old homes already complete Hence our modern tech! Thanks again for another great show!

@wallycox4579 6 месяцев назад

The 914 was a collection of incredible ideas poorly executed and marketed at the wrong time. I used to fix them and could not believe how bad the shifter was - but what a concept.

@darrelrobbins 6 месяцев назад

Adjusting the valves on the standard 914 was a nightmare. Hard to imagine servicing a larger motor in that car.

@jjhpor 6 месяцев назад

The shifter was only bad in the early models. In 1973 the transmission was modified ("side shifter") and it worked great. I tracked one for 17 years, 5 with the original 2.0 four cylinder and the rest with a 2.7 six. As far as "poorly executed" is concerned I would say that too many compromises were made for a price point. The car was amazingly tough but I don't think I would have appreciated it as a daily driver; lousy heater/defroster, loud interior, open the hood for gas, and more. It sure was fun to drive fast.

Good Morning Gentlemen . A great episode ! If you can pique Jays interest in Champ Soleil Donald , that's a win ! I restored a couple of MK IX Jaguar's and in the European market .. they were big ! Your's appear's to be finished in Cornish Grey ? Champ Soleil was a beautiful "cottage" indeed . These particular Porsche were not available in the uk market as l recall and l was surprised at the low (standard) output . But then again it was probably a third of the weight of a medium E.V !!! Thankyou Gentlemen !

@stevelovescars 6 месяцев назад

I love that Lakewood, the Corvair line were so interesting and nearly forgotten by most people except in reference to Ralph Nader, unfortunately. In the other hand, they remain very affordable and interesting classic boys as a result. Even 4-cylinder 914s have been affected by the rise in values of air cooled Porsches. I was lucky to buy one when there were still cheap and should have kept it. Honestly, the interior quality and clean design still holds up well today., though you didn’t show much of the interior in this video. The early Boxsters picked up this idea of a practical (2 trunks!) mid-engine Porsche so well.

@Doug-mc3dd 6 месяцев назад

My uncle graduated in 65', he bought a 62' 4speed Corvair Coupe that same summer. I wanted him to get something more muscle like a Mustang but the corvair was sporty as he wound it out a was banging gears. He kept it less than a year then bought a 63' Pontiac Tempest with a 3speed on the floor with a 326ci.

@alexkalish8288 6 месяцев назад

Osborne came up with the best line ever for people that ask if I have read all the books in my library. not sure I can manage the snear. The corvair is valued by pilots for it's engine - not just race drivers. The mansion was superb. I think Leno is wrong about resto-mods , the Icons handle superbly and nothing is as impressive as a 49 Pontiac with a 500 hp engine and modern suspension ... I had a 74 914 which I bought new for peanuts in 1976. I drove my Jensen Healey so much, I sold the Porsche at about 50k miles for $1000 just for the space. Great episode, proves Leno can play the straight man . Cheers -

A 914-6 in Germany costs nearly as much as an equally motorized early 2.0 liter 911 Porsche from 1969 with 130 bhp around 110,000 to 120,000 euros in perfect condition… These were only produced 1969 to 1971 a bit more than 24 months.. The price of 22.000 DEM was only 15 percent cheaper than a 911 T with 2.0 liter

when I was in high school there was a white 914 parked in front of a house down the road from where I lived, passed it every day on the way to and from school. it never moved, just sat there deteriorating.. the house has sold and resold since then.. don't know what happened to the car.

Mr. Jay Leno would prefer that the Corvair Lakewood would be original. Mr. Leno modified a whole lot of old and often rare cars. Some with slight modifications (alternator, 12V, fan, radiator) but other even went from FWD to RWD, like your Oldsmobile. Does he regret that?

Your missing the point of a factory sleeper, the 914/6 would eat a 911 on the track all day long but it could not be said outloud since it came from this soured VW relationship.

@jjhpor 6 месяцев назад

Not true. I've driven them both on the track. I was faster in a 911 with a smaller engine. My 914 had a modified 2.7 liter six, dynoed at 217hp. I was faster in a 911E with a 2.4 engine (165 hp). Both cars had similar suspension modifications. I had a lot more experience in the 914 too. I was surpirsed and disappointed. The 914 was mine, the 911 wasn't.

@OYisit 6 месяцев назад

@@jjhpor No two cars are ever alike even mass produced ones. I would question the tuning of your mods the 914 has a much better polar inertia stat and is mid engine the 911 had to add counter weights to the front end to compensate for the imbalance behind the rear axle. Its basic knowledge to be competitive in the highest motorsport arenas the engine is always located within the wheelbase.

@UberLummox 6 месяцев назад

@@OYisit Never driven a 911 fast, but never could get 'behind' the idea of an engine hanging off that back like that. I think it was 1970, a 914/6 totally won it's class (or something like that) a Lemans. Easily taking out it's 911 bigger brothers.
