It was the 15th October..

I always find the VIN sequence very interesting as you may find two cars that were together in production!...or is that just me? :oops:

From what I gathered on a factory tour last year it's very unlikely that two Turbos with sequential VIN numbers would be found next to each other on the production line.

Non-GT 996 cars were produced in sequence of orders placed and whilst it's quite possible that two (and many more) non-Turbo engined cars were ordered at the same time the odds on orders for two Turbos being placed at the same time would be far lower.

I agree that finding a Turbo with the previous or next VIN Number would be fun. It would be interesting to then compare the 'build dates' of the two.
 
I can't believe I'm about to do this!!!

I was going to say that it means that yours was built before the other 05 cars but as yours is a Cab' it starts with 67 as matter of course. Coupes start with 68.

Do you know your cars production date? If not, when was it first registered?

Kas ...... you're going to need another spreadsheet. :grin:
