Hello,

I have seen for sale an early 914 1970, with a vin number under 100.

Does that mean it was produced in 1969?

Is this interesting for a simple 914 1.7?

Thanks for your help and anwser.

Pascal, yes we know of a few under 100. There are a few preproduction parts in some of them, so it would be interesting to look it over very carefully for differences compared to later production. Almost 1000 cars were produced in 1969. If you get the chance to look at the car then try & get good photos of the VIN and the paint badge on the left door hinge post.

Yes, I will going to see the car soon ;-)

Any particular points to beware of ? battery box, chassis, front and rear trunk.

Anothers things?
davep
Yes, the battery tray area, and the relay console area on the other side plus the inner rear suspension pickups below these areas. Front suspension attachment points also. But major rust anywhere could be a problem. Some cars had a PVC undercoating that helped prevent rust for a while, but probably most did not have it.
