owned 50 years preserved for 40 and now a 4 year refresh. This is a 72? Weren't all the 72 6's European spec? thats interesting @73-914 . in relation to the 72 golden yellow japan car i posted above. it has side indicator lamps quite unlike the factory built J spec cars, which had warts like USA cars - but the lens was different. image of front of it. its either a grey market japanized euro spec imported into J sometime after 72 - or its a special order the J importer was able to fulfil and japanize after arrival. i suspect its the latter. at that time there was little to inhibit a euro spec car going into japan. LHD was permitted. headlight units would need to be altered. and most importantly side indicators fitted. but as you note they were only building euro spec so the holes in the body were not there for the warts. you just answered something about that car that has interested me for a while. its lack of warts. makes sense now why it hasn't got them. its worth noting that back then both the australian and the japanese distributors had really old school relations with the factory. it was not like the american set up that used VW north america. those distributors could get just about anything a customer wanted. one of the original 914/6 imported into australia would set some of you guys topsy turvy on all your what did they have and what didn't they have ideas. that car was built to a very different spec and arrangement right down to the gearbox. it was a 4 speed. |
