What part is wrapped in leather? The padding inside, the "sail panel" and Targa bar, the windshield frame, or something else?
The sail panel vinyl was a very commonly-ordered option. Most 914s seem to have had it. Some very early 73s had vinyl around the windshield as well, across the top of the hoop and down the A pillar. The bottom edge of that was left bare, which gave it an unfinished look. The padding and trim inside the car is plastic. If any of the above are covered with actual leather, it is an aftermarket addition that someone decided to put on the car. Which could be cool, or could be "WTF were they thinking?" Do you like it? --DD |
