Was sail vinyl an option on all 914's, or was it standard equipment?
Would it say on the cars original window sticker? Car in question is a '74 1.8 (build date 3/74) And if a car didn't have the vinyl from the factory, did they have the chrome trim along the curved edge of the sail? |

This car was recently purchased from an original owner that kept the car pretty original, including the paint. Picture was taken when the fender and rear hood was resprayed; the rest of the cars paint matches the sail trim and doesn't appear to be painted at a later time.
I was looking for confirmation that the painted trim is indeed original or not. Pat belivies that non-appearance group cars could have been like this. Comments ? Attached image(s) |

I was looking for confirmation that the painted trim is indeed original or not. Pat belivies that non-appearance group cars could have been like this. Comments ? It seems like people are confused because in this thread about sail trim colors http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?sho...;p=1961574& Andy says that early non-appearance group sail trim is black and then to prove it, posts a pic of the prototype with colored trim. Also, Pat says in that same thread, referring to the prototype, "Never, ever have I seen mouldings in this country painted to match (as shown on the rear of your pic)" which directly conflicts with the "yep" posted here in this thread.
