It has to be in all EU cars. Those kg numbers are part of registration requirements. All '78-95 originally registered in any EU country must have it.

The Australian plate certifies compliance with design rules, which cover such things as emissions, lighting, safety, etc., and must be fitted to every car sold.

92a0821076 is one of those VINs that doesn't show up in the database. I have come across a couple of instances of this, a few in the '89 MY, and a block of U.S. '85 cars that are 'missing'- Rob Rossitto's old car is one of those.

Sorry I don't have it!

I'd appreciate the option info on my VIN:

WP0JA0922CS821020

I haven't been lucky enough to ride in many other 928s, but I think I have a leather interior option?

Thanks!

Rob, 92a0821076 does show up in the list. A = 1980. Its in PET at 17 digit format WP0ZZZ92_A0821076. This one do not have any options listed. All what is known is its German car with manual gearbox.

If you find some unknown VIN's it would be good to know. It might be possible to fill in gaps.

Thanks! Love my car, I don't think there's any gold script. Must be the passenger upgraded seat.

Light metal wheels? I'll have to look that up.

Reason why I even mentioned M438 Porsche script on doors gold instead of M438 Comfort seat right is that option list don't include M437 Comfort seat left. I would expect there to be left seat code also if right seat is included. Unless left power seat was standard for '82 MY. Which could be possible for US cars. One possibility is that M438 means Porsche script on doors gold for '80-81 MY and Comfort seat right for '82 and later MY. If this is the case there were only 27 cars which had gold Porsche text under door from factory and just 2 of them were US model. In any case M438 has multible meanings. It was possible to get left power seat without right one in ROW cars up to '84 MY.

I believe M401 means 7x16 flat disk wheels. Very common option on '80-82 4.5L cars.

You managed possibly find latest VIN missing from the master list. I have known all the time that there are some VIN's missing but I didn't expect it to be this bad. Certain MY Japanise cars were expected but not so many '85-86 US cars. '86 vs '86½ hole 0938-1000 has been known but even it can be smaller.

There has to be even more Japanise '83 MY lost somewhere. Can't believe there would have been only two sold in that MY.

Vilhuer,
Do these missing VINs mean that the VIN was never issued, or that their are no records available for those VINs?
