My 914, built 1974
inside my brake dust cover it says 07.5.74 because some 914's are destined for Europe and some for USA in Europe it would mean 7 May 1974 in USA it would mean July 5 1974 Which one is it ? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif)  |

i believe mericans are unique in the world in putting month first and day second in date protocol. but could be wrong.
think the germans do it like the rest of us. day first, month second. sir andy is german, right.....so he'd know and he is saying its rest of world way. one of the cars in our 1.8 engine survey had vin 18255. it was a may 74 car. not a july car. i have a jan 74 car, karman stamped 25th jan. when i recommissioned it found the front struts still had date stamps like that dust guard you posted. the date stamps on the strut were 11 jan 74. |
