I just found a canadian owner's manual from MY'74
it's bi-lingual (english+french) and has a different print number than the US version

I already had the MY'73 version, which seems to be combined USA+CAN, but "only" english text

the US version is print number 4652.23, the canadian version is 4652.24

it's very interesting, that the canadien version is completely split: 1st there is a complete english verion, then they added a complete french version - all together spiral bound

see the photos:

does anybody know if there were other canadian versions like this - completely bi-lingual, english + french ???

what about MY'70, '71, '72, '73, '75, '76 ???

The 914 was imported into Canada from the 1972 model year. A very few 1971 models might have been officially imported though; I did have one. The odd car was imported by VW Canada for special people prior to that, but almost no records exist. Porsche's were officially imported in 1959, so why the 2 year delay in the 914 I never learned.
