2+1 Seating!?! Options

[pecci]

I just read on "Pelican" that a 914 has a 3=seater option with seat=belt. Obviously the 3rd seat (if this is true) must be between the driver & passenger seats, but it just doesn't seem possible.

Can someone explain this? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

The people I bought my 914 from in 75 had 2 kids & removed the center console to make it more comfy for them to ride there.

On several occasions I'd driven with 3 across the front - me & 2 gals usually in my single days, a couple of times with 3 of us Ruggers on the way to the 3rd half - or from it! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer3.gif)
... also drove with 6 inside & top on thru the burger drive thru! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/chowtime.gif)

That cop who was the supposed PCA prez was full of (IMG:style_emoticons/default/stromberg.gif) & probably never saw inside of a 914, let alone knew the specs.

Sir Andy, my 8/72 built 73 2L has the extra threaded receivers for the 3rd belt, but the gas tank sticker says 2 passenger (not 2+1), probably because the "included option" center console on the 73 2L's made it impossible to use it for a 3rd adult due to the lack of leg room.

Here's why it needs to be a 2+1 when you're driving along (reverse the idea for our female Teeners) -
