Factory Drivers Manuals, Interested in variations from print runs Options

[mgphoto]

Hello,
I am doing a little research into the 914 Drivers Manual, would anyone know if there is there a definitive list of printings for years, languages and distribution companies?

I have several manuals, all list the month and year of printing along with the number of manuals printed within that run.

The 4 manuals I have are:

914/6 USA #4627.23 1 M VIII/70 Edition 71 (English)

914/4 ROW #4631.20 500 VIII/71 Edition 72 (English)

914/4 USA #4631.23 500 III/72 Edition 72 (English)

914/4 USA #4645.23 9,6 M VII/72 Edition 73 (English)


Anybody else want to contribute, any 914 manual you have is fine but I would like to hear from owners with the original manual.

I think there is a lot of data that can be very useful, I can set up an Excel spreadsheet.

Thanks,
Mike

Hello Wolfgang,
Thank you for responding, I am reproducing the info on the first page of one of my manuals, there is a model designation in a box ie: 914/6

Below that is the info which appears as

4627.23 1 M VIII/70 Edition 71
Printed in Germany
specification are subject to change without notice



4627.23 (this I believe is the Porsche internal document number)

1 M (this is the number of manuals printed 1,000)

VIII/70 (this is the date August 1970)


Edition 71 (Model Year)



Beneath the info listed above, at the bottom of the same page, there is an indication of country such as


USA


(For cars designated as VW/Porsche I assume the English version of the manual is ROW)


The info I want is the line - "4627.23 1 M VIII/70 Edition 71"


Additionally for owners that have the original manual for their car, please include the vehicle build date.


This is the info I would like to start with along with the country and language.
I hope this makes things more clear.
Thanks,
Mike
