Porsche 914/6 3.2 Speedster – Willco Show Car, built by Hazze Z

Basic Information and History

This is no ordinary Porsche 914. This unique vehicle is one of approximately 60 converted "Speedsters" from the American company Willco, which in the 1980s specialized in giving the 914 a sportier and more exclusive character. This particular car was their show car – a showcase of what they were capable of.

The car was imported from the USA in 1991 by the legendary Swedish car builder Hazze Z Lindholm, who acquired it from Willco after several years of persuasion. In 2004, the car was sold to Christer Jonsson in Umeå via Kaiser Cars, and in 2006 the current owner purchased it – now owning it for 19 years and having driven it only about 13,000 km during that time.

The odometer currently reads 57,850 km, adjusted by Hazze to reflect the previous unit’s mileage. Now exempt from inspection as a 50-year-old classic, it is ready for both track days and weekend cruising.

Summary

This Porsche 914 is something truly special. With a unique history as a Willco show car, further developed by Hazze Z Lindholm in Sweden, it offers a rare combination of provenance, performance, and personality.

With around 250 hp and weighing just about 1000 kg, it delivers real driving joy – especially on track or in slalom. It offers the 911 experience without the classic understeer – and it’s guaranteed to draw attention wherever it goes.

Now up for auction after 19 years with the same owner – who has enjoyed the car immensely but is selling it due to a back injury. A unique opportunity for the next enthusiast to take the wheel and enjoy a car with character, history, and performance like few others.
