And then, the funny thing. I'm convinced that the early examples of G28/55 were G28/12 converted, with a new type and serial number stamped.
You can clearly see on this one that this was G28 12 2J 10?85 and now it's G28 55 2J 10509, so the production gearbox number 9 (first is 501).
Another detail on the numbering system Porsche uses is that production gearboxes start at #00501.
Anything with a serial number range of 00001 - 00500 is a prototype.
Example: From the 88 GTE Prototype we find:
And we can clearly see that this is the original stamp, not a modified one like the early production cars. Also, it is indicated as a G28/12, (regular Euro manual gearbox). Except that we know from the Z-orders of the car that the internal are identical to a G28/55.
Is everybody lost at this point of the explanations?
There are so many great cars of interest in the 928 lineage.
I think you are smart to limit this book to the specifics and development of the "Modern" S4 generation SE-CS-GTE-GT-GTS cars and prototypes. What a great niche reference it would be!
I'd buy 10 copies for my mother - and recommend it to the "Rolling Stone"... I'm certain that 000, Excellence and Panorama would cover its publication and I can help with physical publication as I've written a bestseller in English and Japanese already and edited quite a few books for other authors on many subjects.
Correct, no bleed out... Not sure where I found that shot... In the AI - Digital enhancement world of photography, sources/photos/saturation can be deceiving. Sure is pretty!
Sure wish...
That VIN looks very DODGY never seen one so off , also thought that the last two numbers on engine number were also the last two numbers on VIN . My old SE VIN WPOZZZ92ZJS841914 Engine 81JO1114 ?.
There is no correlation between the engine and VIN numbers.
In this case, the indicated engine number is the correct one for this VIN, BUT we haven't seen a picture of the actual stamp, nor the gearbox number stamp.
