Please forgive the topic title, my journalism teacher taught me to be bold with topic lines! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/mueba.gif)
(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wavey.gif) I have a 72' 1.7 that has brand new "alpine white (soft white)" paint and gold "P" letters on the "hood". The only other "badge" on the exterior of car is a gold {914} emblem on the right rear in the usual place. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/bootyshake.gif) Additionally, my car has Perini wheels (thanks Greg Robbins for IDing (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/cool_shades.gif) ) that are Mahle look-a-likes with "plain chrome" (unembellished) hub covers. I would like to know if my car is "badged" as it was when stock and new (USA, USa, Usa, usa, usa usa.... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/flag.gif)) I would also like to know how a euro model was visually different, also regarding badging. I am aware that the car was a VW-Porsche in Europe and I was thinking of "rebadging" my car in the "euro style" to match my "FLATVW" licence plate.(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smilie_flagge6.gif) Comments? TIA (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif) |

Thanks, (danka SP? {poor german language attempt}) SirAndy.(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smilie_flagge6.gif)
I suppose the radios were installed by the dealers as in the USA, but what would have been a "common" radio brand?(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/tunez.gif) Did one go to the VW store or the "P" store, or either both to purchase a 914 new? Gustl B, would you know which wheel was most commonly seen on the cars in Europe? I think here in the US. it was mostly steel wheels originally and over time as more and more cars became usless (junque), that perhaps now a much greater number of US cars now have the "finer" wheels?
