Cool photos, thanks for posting this. Have never seen a white car with the graphic studies. Do you have any more?
Here are the others I have with graphics. Note they are all black cars, painted Fuchs, that funky spoiler. Not one study has the 'negative' stripes ultimately issued for the Can Am cars, because they could not use the Canam term. The design of the final side stripe is completely different than the studies and appears to have come from the 73 911 Carerra RS. What became the Jubilaumsmodell for the Euro market just had plain side stripes because they were not promoting the 914 as a Porsche in that market. Attached image(s)
