Default MY90 cylinder seals?

I am looking at a late MY90 964 C4 cabrio.
I gave away Adrians book with my previous car.
With VIN WP0ZZZ96ZLS421481, does this car have the cylinder seals or not?

Thanks in advance

The change was done mid MY 91. Most '91 models have the change as it occurred in the early part of production. If you don't have this info already, here it is again:

62 M 06836, M64.01 for manual transmission

62 M 52757, M64.02 for Tiptronic transmissions

Any car with a serial numbers that precludes or matches the serial numbers above will not have the cylinder head gaskets installed. You need to look under the car and check these numbers...

If your build date was 11/90 or later you likely have the updated head configuration with seals. I have a July 90 build date for my 91 C2 and it does not have the update.

Many of the early cars never leaked anyway. It's become a bit of an urban myth in my opinion, but having an early car may sway my opinion a little
