This list will give you some idea of the way a 911 was optioned from the factory but…there is no doubt that some codes may not be listed and some may be incorrect.
Porsche would change the fitted ’series’ options to suit different markets, so that if your 911 has a passenger mirror but it’s not listed on the sticker under the bonnet or the one in the book this is no problem. But if the codes say you have sports seats, but they aren’t in the car than there must be a story to tell somewhere.
Various markets demanded different specifications- for example in Europe leather dashboards were usually part of the spec on all Turbo, but for hotter climates leather dashboards were not normal. Italian cars rarely had a rear wiper and almost always air con, whereas rear wipers were always part of the British spec.
The first code you will see on the white label is C?and this is to identify for which market the car was produced. COO=Germany, CO5=France, C16=UK, C23 Belgium, C32=Saudi Arabia e.t.c.
PORSCHE Special orders.
Porsche would always endeavour to provide what the customer wanted however good or bad taste this might be. They employed craftsmen to create custom Porsche for their clients.
Usually it is to do with trim and finishes, maybe instruments with leather bezels, or leather dash, wood trim, colour coding, additional leather to the visors, headliner, wheel, car phones, even things like leather covered switches, seat buttons, flasher switch, and vents. Basically anything you like.
Porsche later claimed ‘the most vivid imagination can become a reality. And judging by some of the cars turned out they managed it!
FACTORY BUILD SHEET.
If you want to know more about the way your car was specified it is worth contacting your local Porsche dealer or direct to the factory and asking for a build sheet of your car – there is sometimes a charge for this service.
To find out the model year (not date of first registration) go to Porsche 3.2 Chassis codes.
For information on buying or owning a Porsche 911 Carrera 3.2 or 930 Turbo 3.3 go to 911 Carrera 3.2 turbo buyers guide.
