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) |

There was discussion of Norwegian equipment a couple years ago on the 914club site, try searching there. I recall it was nothing more than a Norwegian owners manual. Memory could be fading though...

No, nothing of ths sort. It's blatant error, and I've pissed about it for years! One error I can accept. Two is outrageous My 914 is a plain & simple '72 with app grp. Nothing fancy, nothing unusual. So, I want trecord straight. So, I'm going after them. I'll be on them like stink on sh_t until the get it right. I won't accept a refund. I want it right! I'll keep you up to date. The firestorm starts Sunday! Yeah, I'm a little perturbed. Pat |
