I recently bought a 85 Euro and the option code sticker has only C99
written on it followed by S on the far end of the option code area.
No other option codes are on the sticker.

Any idea what this code is? or why there is not any more.

Country destination C99 Special

My car is Special

What is so special about a car with a blank option sticker?

Why am I writing to myself?

 

That means you need a helmet right?

 

Actually with how late in life it is coming on a straight jacket too.

 

Special as in meant for country which do not have its own code. Special as in has combination of parts that is different than any country specific setup. Either one is likely explanation. Lack of other listed option probably mean it does not have any optional extras.

 

Since you are writing to yourself, you should at least mention how sexy you are and how the women are always fighting over you. It will help build that super hero alter ego.

`C99` doesn't show up as an actual code in the official list 'as far as i've seen'
Codes that are close...
- 399 : A/C without front condensor
- 499 : Version for West Germany
- C00 : Eurospec emissions
- C02 : Equipeed with catalytic converter
- C03 : California type car

 

I think it means you should donate all the good parts from that car to help in the restoration of my '85 Euro!

 

Oh yeah, and my build sticker only has the C00 code, no other option codes listed. Must be a Euro thing.

According to this wesite C00 is for Germany and C99 is Special.

The car has full leather interior and heated seats so I know it has some options.

 

C00 reports it being configured with European emissions equipment.

C00 : Eurospec emissions

 

Wonder why Russell's Euro and my Euro "appear" to have just the Country Codes on the option sticker.
If C00 is for Germany and all other european countries have their own code (and emission standards).
I would think C00 means built for German emissions and therefore is the same as the destination.

You might want to call Porsche to see where the original distribution/sale point occurred for this car. Possibly a car destined for the Eastern block? Soviet Union? Possibly a special build for a specific customer?
