Hey folks,
My ’71 914/4 1.7 (Italian Autogerma market) has the wipers parked on the passenger side. Car has had at least 7 owners over 55 years but is well preserved — nothing else suggests anyone ever messed with it. Was this ever a thing on early 914s? Factory variation, dealer prep, Autogerma habit? Or almost certainly a previous owner mod? Period photos or primary sources welcome. Thanks Pierre |

Early 911’s were parked right side, even in the US.

QUOTE(mepstein @ May 7 2026, 03:57 PM)  Early 911’s were parked right side, even in the US. yes, i believe i have seen a USA 912 lhd here and noticed the rhs parked wipers. but the 76 911 i am talking about is unusual since its got lhs parked wipers and its rhd and its not an early early 911 (70s). by rights it should have rhs parked wipers. every other rhd 911 here of that era has the rhs parked wipers. its the exception. might be others but never spotted one. my mate always gets accused of modding the car with US wipers. he didn't. sets the concourse types back on the high faluten heels. definitely came from factory that way. cold war economics? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) i'll take a photo of it when and if i can remember to do it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |
