I recently finished a webpage of the 914 marketing brochures. It includes all the info I have, but if there are errors or if you can provide better photos or info than I have, please send them to me and I will give you credit. Thanks!

In some shots this car has the uber rare front lid gas filler too.

As always a job well done!

Question: Why do some of the brochures only have a single page? e.g. http://members.rennlist.com/914_collectibles/zBro_70USA2-01.jpg

Cuz I don't have good images of everything...What ya sees iz whats I got. I dont own most of them to make good images from.

Send me good images and I will post them!

Ok. Well, I have that one so I will!

I also have brochure ID 1037.21 but I see that the images on the site are really small. If I scan mine I can send you larger, more readable images. Can your site take larger images or are there [disk] space considerations you have to deal with?

I can take pretty large images.

I believe the plate S-M 2383 was probably swapped from car to car for photo shoots.

Brochure# 87-13-06020

Jeff, once you're done downloading the images please let me know so I can remove the directory. Any one else, of course, can download the images in the mean time

Front.jpg is the front cover. I didn't include the back cover since it's blank white except for "Printed in U.S.A." in the lower left corner and "87-13-06020" in the lower right corner.

Spread-#.jpg go in numerical order. All except the last spread were 2 pages so I made three scans and photo-stitched the images to give one large image like what you'd see in the brochure. Because my scanner is a hair shorter than the brochure I decided to make the last pages (spread-5.jpg) a spread scan (like the others) instead of individual page scans.

Enjoy!

Hey Toby,

It looks like the two brochures I have listed 70USA1 and 70USA2 may be the same brochure? Can you confirm?

Posted by: Air_Cooled_Nut Oct 15 2006, 06:52 PM

Pages 1 & 2 are in my brochure. Page 3 is not.

Jeff, I've just reviewed your brochures page, 1970 Model Year

I'm sorry to tell you that there are some serious mistakes / mix ups

I'll start my scanner and send you lots of images including some explanations
I've *really* most of the official 914 marketing brochures, lots of 'em in 4 different language versions ...

this will take a lot of time, so please be patient

70G2 as well as 70F2 are covers of MY'71 brochures, but the following pages show a MY'70 brochure - I've just sent you the german version

I'll send you the complete MY'71 brochures after finishing the "MY'70 work"
