I know...I've got the US brochure that shows an "S" in '74 IIRC....and my understanding is that the designation raised a few eyebrows at Porsche AG when it was done by the American marketing people....not so? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/confused24.gif) |

no. the "S" was the "S-Paket", where S stands for Sport and Paket means Package, so S = Sport Package the "S" included: Forged Alloy Wheels, front and rear Sway Bars and Halogen Headlights the "S-Paket" was renamed "Grand-Tourisme-Austattung" in '74 and included a new Frontspoiler design, front and rear Sway Bars and Mahle Alloy Wheels (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/beerchug.gif) Andy |

All 73 2.0's were "S" models, they all came with all the options you listed. I have 4732906003 and is has the same equipment. Should also have a rear sway bay and a console w/ gauges.

i seriously doubt that *all* of them came that way. in all the original porsche literature i have seen this is listed as an option. now, i certainly can see how most buyers could have been talked into these options by the dealers ... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif) Andy |

Really, I thought all US 73 2.0's came with sway bars, Fuchs, gauge console, chrome bumpers & fog lamps. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/confused24.gif) In 74 they made everyting an option to cut costs. I have a 73 brochure at home, will have to take a look. |

just take a look at the '73 brochures
it shows a teener without center console - and another one with the center console, titled "And to tempt you with extra pleasures, the 914 S." at the back page they list all tech.data for the "914" and the "914 S" it's just the same for the US brochure as well as for the CAN brochure (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wavey.gif) Gustl |
