914.043.0001, the first production line 914-6, build in july 1969 ...

fun to see the badge on the hood

Wow, that's what the h/e's look like new!!!

Cool. The only homologation papers I've ever seen are the Ferrari ones. Nice to see a German one

Seems like a shame that they took it all apart just to take pictures. Looks like they have one too many carburetors.

And I always thought that there was never a factory hood badge on a 914!
