1976 914s were USA market only. No ROW 76 914s. well that absolutely clarifies the point about the manuf plate. they don't need one. the Vin Label in the door is all they require for the USA. the other one served no purpose. but that vin label had to have country of origin on it. the act stated it. its an imported car. they must have been getting around that requirement for a few years due to the manuf id plate in the front trunk. fed authorities must have accepted that in the interim. they did sell karmann beetle cabriolets to the rest of the world. those would have something like a different manuf plate in them. you won't come across one of those in a BAT ad unless someone was selling a grey market car, which is pretty unlikely. i might seem to be being pedantic about term germany on these labels. but i think if you went back into history of international relations at that time it will all be there. international recognition of west germany would have hung on its acceptable name. so what got written on those labels as country of origin was legal in nature in relation to international law and trade agreements. ie - what did the USA recognise as the name of what we once called West Germany from the late 70s to the end of the 80s. for insight into this in the present day look no further than taiwan. |
