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

I own 2 '70/6's with original owners manuals.
(1) 01/70......4621.23....2 M II/70....Edition II/70
(2) 03/70......4621.23....2 M II/70....Edition II/70

I also have a mint spare for USA.
4621.23......500 III/70......Edition II/70

Note; Both cars were sold new in the US in May/'70.
I'd be curious to see Edition I/70.

Hope this helps.

Hello Don,
Thanks for contributing, I don't think there is a II/70 edition, I suspect that there is a VII/69 version with at least a 1 M (1,000) printings sure would cover the first few months of 914/6 production.

Mike, you don't think there is a II/70 edition? Is this a mis print on your part? Or are you suggesting I have two forgeries issued to the original owners 40 years ago?
