Luggage!
After missing out on a few sets of 40th anniversary luggage being sold on the internet, I'm elated to report that (by sheer luck) I came across a set on eBay and they arrived today. The seller didn't list them as 40th anniversary luggage, which is probably why they didn't get scooped up sooner. The set is new and unused, has all four pieces (2 suitcases, wallet and key pouch) and still has its original paperwork (I redacted the VIN in the attached photo out of guilt in case the owner of that car reads this). Enjoy the pics.

New 40th Anniversary Edition 911 Registry
To my 40AE brethren: As we prepare to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the 911, and the 10th birthday of our 40th anniversary 911 cars, I was struck by the lack of a more robust registry of our vehicles. The owners of the 30th anniversary 911s have their own website registry (click here to access it). That registry is a great way to document the whereabouts of the “30 Jahre 911” cars, to allow interaction among their owners, and to create a history of each car. Our interaction here on RL serves some of those purposes, but their registry takes the concept to another level. I don’t have the acumen to develop a website like they’ve done, but I have spent months performing research to develop a similar type of registry. I started with balefire’s original registry, as he updated it over time. I scoured all of the owners forums I could find around the world, having great fun translating foreign postings. In a Dropbox folder (see link at bottom of this posting) I have uploaded two files: (1) a listing of 40AE's for which I found numbers, with thumbnail photos to verify the identity of the cars, and (2) a listing, with thumbnails for identification, of 40AEs for which I couldn’t find a number (each car in this listing has a “U” number assigned to it - see explanation below). I ask that each of you verify that I have your number correct or provide me with the number(s) for cars that are lacking that information (give me the “U” number so that I can cross-reference it). I would be happy to regularly keep these files updated; however, if someone else has the resources and ability to create something more interactive, I would be happy to work with them. I’m doing this as a hobby, albeit a passionate hobby. I love my car and its heritage and truly enjoy the stories that surround each of these vehicles. I’m quite confident that I have a great deal of incorrect information in these listings. Please understand that I am relying on the accuracy of web-based vehicle sale listings, and car sellers are notoriously inaccurate with their details. I wish I had a dollar for every car that was called a "996 40th Anniversary Turbo", or descriptions of the paint color being "Polar Silver Metallic", etc. I also note that several of our brethren have listed different numbers for their cars, which I’m sure was due to mere oversight. Anyway, I hope you find this registry project as useful and enjoyable as I have. Any suggestions how to improve this would be much appreciated. Thanks.

PS - I have a great deal more research info on most of these cars, meaning more than what is shown in the registry files you will access via Dropbox. If you need info on any particular car PM me.
