Ok, I paid a stupid price to get this one BUT I am in hopes Mark at 914 Rubber can use it to make lots more. I am thinking there should be a market for some of these outlaw badges (IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif)

Didn’t the factory refer to the 2 914-8’s as 914-S.

Will the mounting pins match up to the location of other badges?

We've seen "914-6" badges with the "6" cut into an "S" before.
One person who had such a badge insisted it was original to the car.... --DD |

Yep, we can do these. As soon as we have the sample will be working on making some up.
Black is no problem, the "correct" color for a true "S" (73) would be sliver so thinking about doing both. Mark |

Alright, looks like we will have a go. A subtle change that makes people do a double take.

Didn’t the factory refer to the 2 914-8’s as 914-S. ^ Yep. They made owner's manuals for both eight-cylinder cars, and 914S or 914 S was indeed the designation. 914R/914 R is arguably more correct than 914-6 GT, as well. And then there's 914/6 (much of the product literature) and 914-6 (there's a little dash between the 4 and 6 on the gold badge on U.S. cars). And then there's Clubsport and Club Sport.

Wish there was a photo of the back of this car to see if it might have had an “S” badge

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif) ![]() Farout dude, never seen this before. Thanks. I did a cover for a magazine in your neck of the woods. Real nice people. https://andromedaspaceways.com/ nice mag cover. that old article was published in an australian car mag back in the 70s. i used to have it as a teenager. it fell apart from being read so much. fortunately reprinted in all its bs glory in brooklands collection. last time i saw the actual car was in melbourne back in 87 at a vw club event before i left for the USA. it still looked like it did in the mag article then. the original owner imported it into australia back in 73 or 74. dennis (mr gulf908) knows all about its early days in NSW. it was a crayfords converted car done in the UK and then brought here new. i think the owner tricked it a bit early on with the spoiler graphics, alloys etc. though i do believe the poms marketed the 2L as an SC. with or without factory permission. like i say, total b.s. marketing amped up by a big noting owner, sort of thing that went down then. you know - "its not a volkwagen maaaaayte, its a poorsheeeee". we are having a bit of go at seeing if we can track it down, as a friend of mine knows the second hand dealer who sold it back in the mid 80s to the bloke it was last known to be with. he still has all his records from his days in the trade, but he is getting on in years and a bit frail. covid has kind of slowed down contact with people, especially older folks who have basically gone into hiding. i am sure this car is still around somewhere. the old guy who owned it was the type who would die with it. when i say old, he would have been about 50 then, and i was in my 20s. so he seemed like an old dude to me. he'd be in his 80s now if he is still around. he was pretty fanatical about the car and i know he got in contact with the guy who started the orig aus 914 register sometime in the late 90s, so he still had the car then. and i have never noticed it for sale anywhere, but i could have missed it. the b.s. marketing did not extend to the badge. 914 vw porsche 2.0 |
