Time to time, the Porsche Certificate of Authenticity (CoA) is referenced and not infrequently the data is deemed inaccurate or inconsistent.
I applied and received mine almost 12 years ago and the specification contained therein, though sparse, is accurate. I don't know if the fact that my car was an early example (when record keeping was of more importance), because I applied a (relatively) long time ago, that I had a pretty basic car (compared to later editions), or was just plain lucky that my CoA was not botched. Here's what it looks like, issued October 1995........ Attached image(s) |

Here's what it looks like, issued October 1995........ I got me first one on 1991. It was an outrageous $20. Lost it & got another one in 2004 ($90) - they are about $100 now. And, as is always the case, found my earlier one about 6 weeks after getting the current one. My 914 is a '72 & I'm the original owner. Both COA's list my car as having "Norwegian equipment". Now, if I was supposed to get a tall, young blonde with my car, I was screwed! If not, anyone (DavePlnow what Norwegian equipment is? I bought the car in Cincinnati, which, last I heard, doesn't have a large population of Danes, Swedes, etc. Pat |
