prompted by @http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showuser=104 's post about #1 LE currently for sale.

given LE's were in part commemoration for 100,000 th 914.

don't know if anyone's ever worked out which car it is and the Vin #?
because its not #1 LE. wasn't quite up to 100K then.
couldn't find anything on a search here to see if anyone knew.

2 ways to work it out - using the yearly vin numbers and members vin info here.

1
include all cars 914/4, 914/6, 916.
(but exclude any pre production prototypes and i did not include 914/8s - so there could be a bit of wobble if you knew how to include all those).

would be vin # 4742917835.

not recorded on our vin register but falls in band of LE cars vin numbers towards the end.
(may not exist anymore ).

2.
100,000 th 914/4

would be vin # 4742921217

it still lives (or did until at least recently).
humble 74 1.8
as @http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showuser=10753 says "destined to be a classic".



EDIT
i've got the flu at the moment, its worse than covid.
sitting by the heater with a head like a watermelon.
got an extra zero in there.
talking a hundred thousand.
