Alright, let's talk 914-6 ... Options

[SirAndy]

So, after having had the pleasure to drive this beautiful, unmolested, all original, 37k miles 914-6 today, i can't help but wonder if we should attempt to list all the differences between an early /6 and early /4 in terms of originality.

I believe it would be of tremendous help to have a list of things "to look for" when doing a PPI on such a time-capsule.

What do ya'all think?

o.k. - now it's clear to me

as you know, the
MY'70 started somewhen in August 1969 and lasted to about June 1970
and the
MY'71 started somewhen in August 1970 and lasted to about June 1971
(btw - does anybody know the exact dates ??)

if it has a 914.0.43.xxxx VIN, it should be built before July 1970

a helpful, additional info would be the Karmann body number - with this, we can determine the exact day of the body production

when you tell us, that the car in question was sold in early to mid 1971, I don't think that this will make it a 1971 car
it seems more likely to me, that it was a nonseller


I know a guy, who has a 1968 Renault, which was sold by a Renault dealer in 1976 - that's a real nonseller (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)
