Lets play 996 turbo vin number bingo...

[T8]

So there were only 16 coupes built in 2000?!?!?!

No. There were only 16 built in Model Year 2000 - probably early press cars manufactured at the beginning of Y2K. First Road Tests were published in April 2000

Production of customer cars commenced at the start of Model Year 2001 i.e mid 2000.

T8...How do we find out what colours, how many of each colour etc and when respective cars were built in 2000?

Okay I have t won a prize (MY 2002 - 680131) but I like to think mine was built just after they'd perfected production techniques but just before they hit bored and sloppy..... :grin:

Seriously though, T8 & KAS750, have you 'spreadsheeted' the highs and lows of each MY?

(OMFG - I can't believe I just typed that question......I no longer watch BBT but I'm in it! )

What are you going to do with this mine of information you are collecting? Sounds a bit like the Porsche version of Pannini stickers but without the pictures. Or Top Trumps!

Just a reminder that the series numbers start from 0001 at the start of each model year.


Based on production numbers this would mean that for Coupes:

MY2000 will be 680001 to 680016
MY2001 will be 680001 to 685324
MY2002 will be 680001 to 685908
MY2003 will be 680001 to 684322
MY2004 will be 680001 to 681273
MY2005 will be 680001 to 680720

Yours must be the 286th car of MY2001 i.e the 302nd 996T produced.

Cheers T8, saw that when reading through. But didn't understand the Model Year stuff. Mine is a MY2001 but registered in 2000 is what confused me and still does haha.
