Well I found the pictures I was looking for but unfortunately I can't read the plate number.

Getting it ready for prom

Head G to go pick up my date.

My Dad shortly after he bought it.

I was 99.9% certain about it being Euro. I remember the dash lights were all in German when you started it and the rear Fog light that the US Spec didnt seem to have. I wish the flash hadn't washed out the plate number. Ill have to look through some other photos and see if i can find it lurking in the back ground. Still waiting on my State Trooper friend to run my dad's record and see if it comes up that way. Maybe Rob could give me the 622 VIN numbers with sunroofs and i can try to weed it out that way.

Do you have pictures of the interior?
It could help to spot some options, like heating seats, by example.

I don't but I can tell you it didn't have heated seats. I remember the car very well. From the research I've done there aren't many variations of the euro 928s interior options were pretty standard.

Good.
Without seat heating and with passenger side mirror, I'm down to 301 potential cars.
Were the seats regular (electric adjustment) or sport (electric vertical adjustment only)?

Also,
Was there an upper green tint of the windscreen?
Was there a regular radio system (4 hidden speakers) or an Hi-Fi system (8 visible speakers)?
Cruise control or not?

You can see in the third pic there was some green tint at the top of the windshield. Since we weren't the original owners i cant tell you that was the factory glass.

I dont recall it having an alarm and I dont think it had ABS if it did i can tell you that is didnt work. I remember locking up all 4 wheels once and it scared the crap out of me. Glad I had on my brown pants.
