Was talking to a 356/911 restoration shop. The partner mentioned that they picked up a low mileage 914 "S". Now I remember that the "S" designation was an ad exec's pipe dream. It was never sanctioned by HQ. The ads ran in the US only.....

I believe a few ads were published and then everything was pulled.

Am I correct in my memory?

Anyone have any links to the ads? Just want to validate my opinion.
