This one got posted on Facebook recently, the original poster speculated 1969, and the body color bumpers on the 914s supports that. Rear lights look Euro spec to me.

The above picture is from the centerfold of the June, 1970 Christophorus, Porsche's factory magazine, which is published in German every other month (Jan, Mar, May, Jul, Sep, Nov), then interpreted in English on the even months for distribution for English speaking countries. The photo was taken about March for the May issue in German first, then interpreted for the English June issue.
The detail is great! You can actually read the tachometer red line which shows it to be at 5600 rpm. If one wants a copy, just remember that Porsche owns the copyright..........and you know they are very sensitive on copyright infringement. It's best to buy your own issue. Every now and then a June copy will pop up on ebay,....... buy it. It's very cool in a frame!

Many euro cars without the side marker lights.

It is interesting to note that the white 914 in the foreground appears to have outside mirrors mounted on both sides of the car.

Also of note what seems like an almost total lack of radio antenna.

Maybe in the trunk with the hubcaps? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)

As I further examine the pic, the second white car has PORSCHE lettering on the engine grille; that one might be going to the US.

The 6th car back in the row on the left (orange) looks like it has an antenna installed.

Love that they are sitting outside in the rain. They were rusting before they were ever sold to anyone. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Why do some not have vinyl on the sail area? The blue on in front and a white one on the train. Awesome photos!

They're npn-appearance group. You can see the white one's body-colored bumper. That's how the early ones came stock, though most were up-sold to chrome and vinyl.

Seems they got wiper arms and hubcaps pretty late in the process.

The non-apperance group looks better now than the more upscale ones.
