I was perusing my files on a 914 LE that went back over the pond a few years ago (sent from the US), and found the 'COA' from VW that the owner acquired and sent to me. Thought this was potentially an interesting approach to the PPS/CTCs now available.

Not sure where to source these from, perhaps a VW dealership?

Poking around on the web I found that these appear to be issued by VW classic:

https://www.volkswagen-classic-parts.com/en...ata-sheets.html

Not 100% sure they can be provided to US customers as their pricing is in euros, but could not find specific information otherwise.

Very Interesting! It can't hurt to have too much documentation for my LE (VIN-14854).

Also interesting is the "cannot be identified" items. I wonder if M778 is what my COA calls the " 'CANAM' Limited Edition Package"?

thanks jeff.
super to see confirmation it can be done through VW europe.
cost would be $160 AUD for me which is absolutely reasonable in capital letters.

i'm doing it. let you know what i get after i do it.

poking around on the website there it would seem you can have the engine number confirmed with a separate attached letter. you tell them the number and they say yes or no.
