An error in the for sale description I would think.
Looking at the photo, the charcoal filter mounted on the fuel tank is plastic, which makes the 914 a mid-year 1974 model year which would have been fitted with 1.8 or 2.0 engine.
The engine code will confirm the size; the number on the C.o.A. only states the engine number, not the size.

The front has got holes for the over riders. There is a difference between early and later chrome rear bumpers - i'm sure Kev will be able to tell you if the thats early or later....
