Do you have any pictures of the 914 that was on actual display at the 1969 show?

I only have the one gray photo from DGVWPB. I'd be really interested in any additional photos of that car.

I have a suspicion in need to confirm (or not) ...

The green car that is the "cover shot" for the second video looks like black steelies with wheel covers.

It's not without comments about the car: all things we now take for granted like the difficult access to the engine etc. And priced @ 12,000 DM, it was not considered to be cheap.

Funny moment when the 914 overtakes the Karmann Ghia!

@ Kaeferfreund: Great avatar! Should make a great T shirt as well!

FAKE FUCHS. Ugly hub caps. I like the euro front blinker. The small clear lights came on vs the whole yellow.

Looks like D-jet. I thought the euro cars had carbs.

Notice the edit when the guy did not get the Targa all the way in or secured? Then tried to close the trunk. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

And the fog lights blinked when that car passed.

Nope, all 1.7L were D-Jet, that includes Europe.

Only the 1.8L had carbs in Europe and the 1.8L didn't exist in 1969.

No, not the one in the film.

I mean the one that was on actual display at IAA. The /6 up on stage behind the ropes. It may be yellow but it's hard to tell from a black/white picture.
