I am new to this board; my father and I are starting a restoration of a 1972 (he is the second owner) that he parked in his barn about 24 years ago. I have a question on the chrome bumper bars that are on this car. Were these a dealer option, or do you think they were added aftermarket?
Thank you very much, Nathan |

The bumper guards were popular on early chrome bumper MG's, Triumphs and VW's. Their bumpers were low compared to Detroit iron bumpers and parking damage tended to get into the grill and body work. I always thought they were a little odd on a 914, but they do serve a pupose I guess.
