Written sources and other proof says the 914 was officially imported to the following countries:
1. USA – obviously. Excellence was expected says approximately 60% of all 914s were sold in the USA 2. Germany – of course (but they weren't imported to Germany....) 3. Italy – I have seen 2 Italian 914 ads, and an Italian 914 Tech Spec book 4. Japan – A Japanese website says that several (maybe as many as 65) 914/6 and 20 1974 914 LE cars were imported there, surely there were many more standard 914s. The restorers guide depicts at least two Japan-only equipment items, a tach and sidelight marker lens, and I have a photo of a Japanese 914 door jamb sticker. 5. France – I have 2 French Sonauto ads 6. England – Crayford offered the RHD conversions 7. Australia – Crayford offered the RHD conversions 8. Canada – I have a photo of a 914 Canadian maintenance record 9. Sweden - Were’nt they the only country requiring the headlight washers and passenger convex mirrors? 10. Finland - I have seen a COA with a 'Finland equipment option' listed 11. The Netherlands - but no known proof. So is that it…just 10 countries plus Germany that we have proof of? But what about: Spain? Austria? Switzerland? |

QUOTE How about the Republic of Palo Alto where it's illegal to wash your car? I've applied for a pass-through permit so I can drive the /6 from San Jose to Candlestick for the AX event this weekend. It'll come up before the city council next week. You may have something there Carl...but for the foreigners, Carls talking about local politics. Palo Alto bans leaf blowers because they are too loud. Bet Brads former 914 Julius would be stopped at the border for sure... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) Antonios Aubie car in Brazil was bought from a local collector...it was never imported to Brazil from The Factory. There is also a 914 in Argentina. I wonder if the Hussein Bros had a 914 to go with that yella 9-eleben Lawrence found in EyeRak? We also know of two 914s in Mazatlan, Mexico...brought in by their American owners... |
