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!!!!!!

M089 = tinted windshield
M095 = Blaupunkt Wolfsburg
M097 = Blaupunkt Emden
M102 = heated rear window
M166 = sealt belt for center seat

M640 = PVC undercoating
M976 = chromed steel wheels with 165 tyres


btw - George, I have a price list that shows the M471 package
so, perhaps your cars are authentic

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

A window sticker from a 1971 914-6 that was delivered with the M471 Competition Option Group.

very cool

I guess I know the VIN

So I guess that your car was color changed Steve?

Yes, you certainly do.

Nooooooo
