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? |

The red WOB CD 555 car above is a prototype, and probably shouldn't be used as an example of what cars came with. -It's an early car with late steel wheels, even.
I'm not convinced any of them came with body colored rear sail trim. There is some evidence of black trim on early non appearance group cars (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/www.356-911.com-11782-1392306143.1.jpg) |

Was the sail/targa bar trim Painted ? Not clear what you meant. |

I understand that sometime in '73(?) the base model had the trim painted black. |
