here goes.

i hope its reasonably logical.

i'm just going to hover either side of 74. too much stuff otherwise.
and .........i'm just diehard on 74 L jets so don't want to wander off too far. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

This is a document from Jeff Bowlsby website. Filed under Factory Tech Publications.
a Porsche (presumably Porsche Audi North America) document. Printed in USA.
Intended for Dealers and Customers for color/finishes selection.
Notes. 3 basic colors for 914 shown. Black Brown Tan.
Only Perlon (Needle Loom) for 914 shown.
Under 911 same three colors, but also in Pile along with Perlon.
all hair yarn.
pile standard for some 911s. optional for E and T.
perlon standard for other 911 models and 914 models.
does not mention as optional for 914 but Window Stickers for 1973 list explicitely loop pile for appearance group 1.7 & 2.0.

many more window stickers to examine on jeff's website (wonderful archive).
all say the same. so we know 73 appearance group 914s got the pile.

additionally, this 1973 USA Colors booklet is identical to the 1972 booklet.
there were no changes it seems from 72 to 73 in the USA market.

ROW and USA match in terms of offerings and range.
