I posted a few pics of this 1973 car

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i211.photobucket.com-18384-1424113051.1.jpg)

As you can see, with black anodized trim and no vinyl on the sailing panels. I've seen several pics of car with the same specs. However, I've not come across a brochure or reference file what or why there's different trim for different cars.

Is there more info about that?

The chrome trim, chrome bumpers and sail vinyl were part of the "appearance package" which cost extra money.

Yes, but the non-appearance group or non-sail/rollbar vinyl + chrome trim 914s were painted in the overall body color - not contrasting black, until the 1974 MY when the black trim option came out about the same time as the LE (& was included in the LE's options package).

So this was either a original buyer special request, or a later change to or painting of the trim to the black.

.... unless there was a different option available for this in Europe/RoW, & not available in the USA/North America?? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)
