Bodies were in white (ivory). Please read. This is from the 50 Years Porsche 914 page 107. Explains how cars were to be painted.

I don't understand the comparison photos of the handbrake recess.
what's the issue ?
The antenna hole is on the wrong fender.
Didn't 916 have the antenna in the windshield ?

It's been at Canepa since shortly after it was purchased. I spotted it in one of their IG stories a few months back.

I read they were all bodies in white but Brutus.
Brutus is indeed a prototype, as it started as a 914-6, had a 914-6 serial number, and was made into a 916 by the factory, and never sold new by Porsche"

this memo makes it very clear which chassis the first five 916s used and they are 1971 914/6 production numbers

So which one is this? Are there three, or is it the same as the yellow one?

Red 914 pic. is 73 and later....the yellow pic is what Brutus should have..70-72,, although there could be a early 73 with the 70-72 indent..
RD sells this one , with early indentation;;;

so why didn't Porsche buy it before it was restored the first time ?
you would have imagined a car of this significance should have come to their attention through the 914 grapevine
it would have been a nice addition to their 914 50th celebrations in June

Buying back an old expensive 914 would only make sense if they intended to make further use of the 914 name which they apparently do not with the introduction of the 718.

Well, at least something besides the side-shift transmission on my '73 is '73—literally everything else I have come across is 1972...doors, windows, top, rain tray, headlight switch, and a bunch of other stuff is all 1972 gear. 4732900193

What I am not getting is it looks like there are three indentations? Mine, the yellow one, and the one in Brutus (which looks like the RD piece?).

The Brutus indent doesn't look like either of the others to me. It's not as angular as the late one or as short as the early one.

^ That's what I meant. Black one seems to have similar shape to yellow but definitely dips a lot lower.

Didn't know there were two versions, let alone three. Not sure I care all that much, or would be bothered to change a longitudinal to address it (assuming nothing else wrong), but that's probably why I am not into concours. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

I do find it interesting, however. Wonder why the RD longs are shaped differently than either of the factory longs?
