914 4 and 6 Vin number id tag question Options

[pete000]

I reciently saw a 914 that was a European spec car. Not sure of which country it was from, but it had no front side marker lights. I also had the second bulbs in the front turn signal housings and amber real lamps.

I did notice it did not have a Vin number tag on the front windshield pillar?

It also did not have the Karmann plaque in the door jamb or the decal on the rear door jamb (too many paint jobs over the years?)

Question is, did the European delivered models not come with the pillar Vin tab?

The car seems to have the correct stamps on the front fender and rear trunk floor.

Thanks !

FWIW, my 1970 914-6 doesn't have the door jamb VIN plate, nor the VIN plate on the headlight assembly. It does have the Karmann plaque, the A pillar VIN tag, and the VIN stamped on the wheel well. California DMV didn't seem to care - but then the car already had a Cali title, so YMMV.

The car's been repainted several times, but they kept the Karmann plate masked off. (Very poorly, but still...) I'm not inclined to hunt down the POs over this question, though I'd be interested to learn why I found so many pennies and .22 shell casings in the passenger headlight bucket...

By contrast my 1974 914-4 has every marking mentioned.
