Andy mentioned in another trending thread that 914s sold in all non-US markets did not have any Porsche badging or branding. I knew that before I read it, but I guess I never thought until now to wonder what the steering wheel pad would have looked like on non-US cars. Anyone have a picture or description?

Has the Wolfsburg Logo on it.

Hmm... Wouldn't mind finding one of those just for the cool factor.

Drove one with the Wolfsburg crest on it back in late '69- they were opening a new Porsche+Audi dealership in Cedar Rapids IA and needed a euro spec 914 driven from Minneapolis to CR for their grand opening. Their main Porsche mechanic was a good friend of mine so they let this college kid and his gear head friend bring it back to IA.
It also had the VW part of the VW-Porsche insignia on the back covered up... got a picture of it somewhere as I was happy to wear my Porsche+Audi jacket!

(boy, that is making me feel old...)

Didn't some of the super Beatles have these?

Posted by: Rob-O May 23 2016, 10:23 AM

Yup, sure did.

Should be able to find these pretty easily at the samba.

I don't believe the super beetle horn pad mounted the same way. They had the same overall shape but the mounting was with 4 pin and spring assemblies at the corners of the bat wing. The 914 uses the Porsche twist lock center mount.

Heres a link to the steering wheel I think people are thinking of. Similar but different than our 914 wheels.
