Assuming that the factory in Osnabruck painted the chassis in "batches", is it correct to assume the 914 colors were consecutive according to chassis number, rather than VIN? Or maybe the paint wasn't even applied to an unbroken sequence of chassis #s.

Great question!
The info I have can only amount to a clue, nothing definitive. Awhile back I made a table of a sample of LE cars from the 914 LE Registry, including the VIN/chassis number and paint code data to look for this trend, and sorted the table for consecutive chassis number order rather than VIN The LE Registry does not include every consecutive VIN/chassis # so there are gaps, but the hint is there that cars with close CHASSIS NUMBERS are also painted the same color code. The VIN sequence is not as closely related to the paint code. If its true that the chassis were fabbed then sent to paint, then later assembled and the VIN attached only as a car was fully complete, then it would stand to reason that chassis with close chassis numbers would share the same paint code. Here is an excerpt from my study of the LE cars: Attached image(s) ![]() |
