What are the indicia to identify a Euro model as opposed to ROW. either in 4s or 6s...

and are there different indicia re the two engine sized models?

I understand some of the more apparent might be:
front and rear turn signal lenses and front turn signal buckets
gauges...in km or miles, and German/English language
VIN (metal tab) not affixed on windshield post of Euro..is this correct?
No compliance sticker on door jamb of Euro...

Are there others that are fairly readily apparent?

Thanks

Some of the early euro cars had carbs instead of FI.

Are you talking about ways to tell "Euro" from "US"? Often, "RoW" (Rest of World) means "everything but the US", but there were different requirements for different countries.

No carbs on 1.7s or 2.0s, ever. The non-USA (and I think non-Japan) market 1.8s had a pair of single-barrel Solex carbs; that was it.

The Euro-spec cars had European turn signal lenses, with a couple of exceptions. (I think Italy used the clear front TS lenses; the French rear TS lenses had more amber than the regular Euro tail lenses, etc.)

No side-marker "warts" on most European-spec 914s.

I bet that Jeff Bowlsby's site (http://bowlsby.net/914/Classic/) has some info on this.
