914-6 M471 Options

[M471]

Hello! I am new to the 914 World. I recently purchased a 1970 914-6 believed to be an original 'dealer installed' M471 car. The motor is a period correct 2.5L Twin Plug with original 46IDA Weber Carburetors. The engine is believed to have been with the car since it left the dealership. The chassis has been stiffened, the car has 'S' calipers, drilled rotors, KONI adjustable suspension, 10K tach, Scheel driver's seat, and lots of other rare goodies. The COA lists FINLAND PACKAGE and LIGHT METAL WHEELS as some of the options. I am curious if there are any tell-tale signs I should be looking for in order to establish pedigree. Any idea what the Finland Package is?

I think the option comments on the COA can often be guesswork on the part of the individual doing the Porsche code German-English translation for the 914. My COA also had a strange option line stating the car was delivered with the 'Norwegian Market Package'. The odd thing is the car was sold new in Santa Barbara California to the first owner and has all the standard US market hardware intact. Perhaps with the more popular models like the 911 and 356, the option translations are much better understood and researched on those COAs. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)
