Brant, I believe you are right, however Eu did hve little"nipples". This 914 doesn't have them, just black fog light grills giving the optical illusion of tits.

That's a nice shot....I usually don't like the look of the stock front valience.

the 935 bug looks bitchin...

OK. Here are the first 28 vehicles that appear in the commercial. Can you name the model and the year?

models? sure, for some year? fat chance for me...

I already guessed at 14 with a 73 though...

Can you name the model and the year?

next

last

Oh I will take #15 please Early 70s model

A PUMA

Or for that matter #41 the 72-74 Ghia Convert would be nice also - I prefer the Coupe thou #40 still a 73 or 74 big bumpers Funky front lights- I still miss that car.

A current Comcast Broadband commercial features (for just a second) a 914 Group 5 racer, zooming down the screen, in a video being played on a computer.

Not a single 914 had the badge as standard, if it has one the dealer put it on or some PO but thats AFAIK

Some cool cars
like #3: 2003 Ultima Edicion VW Beetle hmmm nice
or off course #14 the 73 914 2.0 (hmm number fourteen, coincedence...)
or #20 which I think is a MK1 Golf GTI
and just because you hardly ever see one of these # 52 which is a seventies VW K70

Cool you found and shared this ad Jeroen!

greets
Jacco

I want 55

Jacco i know the hood crest was never a factory item on a 914, what i was saying is the in europe the 914 was a VW, but in that commercial it is a porsche due to its hood crest. how many people would put a porsche hood crest on a euro VW 914. i personally would love to get ahold of a true marked VW 914.

The 914 also has the clear (Italian IIRC) turn signal lenses.

That is a cool commercial. I dig it!

Is #52 a VW? It would almost have to be, but it looks so much like an NSU.

good luck as there weren't any ...

they were marketed as "VW-Porsche", in fact, VW and Porsche founded a seperate company, the "VW-Porsche Vertriebsgesellschaft" just for that ...
