Got my COA today, after 4 months (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) , & I thought it posed some interesting questions. COA said I have white fog lights & velour trunk carpeting. Did 914s come w/ yellow fog lights? What on earth is velour trunk carpeting?

Wolfgang is correct about yellow fogs for France. But I have never seen velour as original trunk carpeting in a six. Who knows, maybe the factory was experimenting again and someone didn't like it so they replaced it before you owned the car.
I have become more and more distrustful of the information from the COA. Out of 8 catagories listed on yours, 3 of them are N/A. Now they get wordy in the options area. My COA for #0876 just states that it has Canadian Equipment. Whatever that means. The car was sold in Nevada and lived in CA. Sixes were not sold in Canada. (Maybe ONE exception) This is a classic case where you can't display your COA at a Parade Concours without the judges holding the owner responsible to the original spec. Don |

Don I would question Porsche's COA. I strongly believe they don't give out correct information anymore. I know of one person (911-guy) who bought his 1974 911 new and his COA was not correct. When he raised issues about everything in their files he asked for his money back & they gave him the finger (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bs.gif) They admited recent moves & changes with personal left old files obsolete over the years. In my opinion it used to be more accurate, but today it's about revenue$$. They have low paid clerks opening these files and answering data they don't know anything about. Tom (my opinion) |
