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) ![]() |

I ordered my COA in Germany since that's where I am now. Had to go back twice and tell them to correct mistakes:
- at first they listed engine data for a 1.8 - on the second try they corrected that to show 2.0 liter data, but for the *wrong* 2.0 (looked like GA data instead of the correct GC) - the total number of cars for that year ("Stückzahl") was mistyped and showed 14100 - but even the number it shows now, 4100, is a contentious issue. We had a whole thread in here about the inaccuracies: http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showtopic=64209 At least they were responsive and sent out replacements very quickly after the initial long wait for the first version. If you're persistent you can get what you believe is correct. However, people who don't have the knowledge to realize the COA is flawed are left with bad data for quite a lot of money. ![]() |
