Spotted In Germany, Anyone Know This Car? Options

[Osnabruck914]

My wife snapped this pic in a roundabout as we were entering Friedrichshaven about two weeks ago. Apparently there was a car show in the area that day, as there were quite a lot of interesting cars on the road. This was the only 914 we saw on the road in three weeks in Germany. Anyone's here or know this car?

as a afterthought to above, it may have been intended that the 914 side marker for the USA was to be flush originally. it could have been and met the regs.'

but it could not be flush in J or italy.

its possible the cost cutting in relation to the design and manufacture of the 914 just before it went into production (and is well documented) led VW or porsche to adopt a universal design (in terms of the base plate and lamp mounting) to save $.

that would be my guess.

i should add that the side indicator that italy, japan and australia had early on from that time later became a standardised universal regulation throughout europe. the cars have had them ever since in the rest of the world. these days it appears it has migrated in most cars to the edge of the rear view mirrors. but its still there.
