This might get some knickers in a quibbley but I'm trying to figure out had the 914 design team's vote to badge the car been honored, which badge would have come on my car. Porsche Classics shows the orange badge used through MY 1973 and the red badge beginning in MY 1974, but there is also this graphic showing the switched occurred sometime in '73.
(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/images.summitmedia-digital.com-20845-1664031721.1.jpg) The best I can tell, the switch might have happened with the introduction of the 911 G-series in MY 1974 but I've had a hard time finding when actual production began. I did find this article saying it started in August, 1973 which might be a good clue. That may be all I need to know, but does anyone have anything to add? |

If you want a Porsche badge on your 914, put one on it. If you don't want a badge, then don't add it. It is your car, and it is YOUR choice. Nobody here will ridicule you one way or another. To quote @Rusty .... "I can't be an elitist, I drive a 914." Do what makes you happy. |
