I have a factory publication dated 9/1/71 with a list of 914-4 and 914-6 options and their codes. Here are the codes can you guess the options? (all begin with M)

089 095 097 102 166 220 404 417 433 440 452 453 454 475 485 490 549 565 567 568 570 571 572 577 591 640 976

Notice there is no mention of the famous M-471 option!!! Maybe my car and Steve's are fakes!!!!!!

Excellent work! I of course was kidding when I said that our cars were fake but just shows one that even factory documents are not always complete!
I would like to see a six certificate of authenticity showing the titanium rods!!!

a standard 914-6 was at DM 19,980 in MY'1971
M471 was at DM 4,600
M417 was at DM 2,497.50

these were by far the most expensive options

and the big problem - there was no homologation for titanium rods, so the race guys mustn't use them
I can't imagine that any "civil" car was equipped with them

but I would love to see it too (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
