It's clear that both Porsche, and the American distributors were part of the 914S designation to some degree, and however briefly before it was killed. So for those of us with early 73 cars it seem legitimate to use the term...Perhaps even for ANY 73 2.0.
Does it mean anything really? No…Just historical minutia. When I had the car appraised in the late 80's by some high-end auto appraiser when my company was shipping and insuring the car...in the detailed appraisal, he even listed the car as a 914S. Again, it doesn't mean anything, I know, but I just find it interesting that the designation was still alive with people in the know even 15 years later. Got this plate in 1987 I think.  |
