I recall the crap I used to get from some elitist Porsche owners about my "lowly" Volkswagen Porsche or "VoPo." I wonder what they're going to do, as they're all Volkswagens now! VoPo was a nasty expression a few used to describe the 914. (VoPo stands for the Volks Politzei--the East German Police).

When I got my 914 way back in Dec 1970 many in the PCA didn't want the 914 included or be considered a proper Porsche to joing the club... I sent a scathing letter to Pano at the time complaining I could have spent less and gotten a rust-bucket 356. I really enjoyed beating 911's in autocrosses, and that was with my 914-4 not a 6! I never cared it was called a VW-Porsche in Europe- in fact, much earlier a friend and I got to drive a real VW-Porsche 914 ( a blue early production model) from Minneapolis to our dealer in Cedar Rapids, Iowa for display before they were even imported! That car turned some heads at the time!!

I think I'm going to order one of those European VW-Porsche badges for my 'teener now. This also means I can feel better dreaming about a 1.8T in the 914! Funny how things come full circle.

Jon,
I think I will order one too... I already have Euro lights front and rear and the Euro Steering wheel bowtie.

If I remember correctly, the euro model 914 I drove (this was 40 years ago!) had a VW symbol in the middle of the wheel where our US models had the Porsche crest.

The only people that seemed really pissed about this are 911 owners. No once else really cares that much

That is correct, only it is a Wolfsburg emblem. Found it on ebay. Seller didn't know what he was selling or didn't care as it was just listed as a 914 horn bowtie. I was the only bidder. In great shape too...

Canadian 914s had the Wolfsburg emblem too.
