Just wondering what the official year for the 50th Anniversary of the 914 is. Is it 2020 or 2019 ? I know in the past the United States got most Euro models a year after the introdution in Europe. Is that the case with the 914?

My '71 has a 50th birthday in September 2020, and I've had it since new... damn, I'm getting old (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)
Don't need to rush it- it won't be in 2019! |

The Flanders venue is great,but the location is not really good for the all of the east coast to gather as it is pretty far north. Why not look at something in Virginia, mountains or beach, both should be reasonably priced in September/October.

I think that a two year celebration is in order, starting in late 2019 when the first 914 hit the dealer showroom floor, and continuing until 12/20

Pulled up a US map and if two celebrations are in order (east and west coast), it looks like southwestern West Virginia and the four corners area seem to have equidistant access for most people. There are great roads in both areas. |

Perfect. What venues are being considered for the 2019 Octeenerfest. I missed last year due to new engine not having enough road time but I will be there this time around.

This reminds me of the great debate regarding the 1st year of the 21st century (and no I'm not trying to resurrect that discussion).
Correct me if I'm wrong. The 914 was introduced to the world in the fall of 1969 but, based on their VIN's they were 1970 MY. Earlier in this thread the Production Numbers page (http://www.914world.com/specs/productionnumbers.php) was referenced and it refers to years 1969 to 1975. That would suggest there was no 1976 MY. |

I’m starting the party the weekend of 9/14 in the PNW. The local PCA is supporting the event too.

Okteenerfest returns to western North Carolina and will be held in Banner Elk on September 12-15. Here's the official thread. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) |
