Lots of good stuff there!
I will have to cross reference the listed cars against what I have and update the website as warranted. I was able to confirm the 3 VIN's from LV. Polar Silver 003 and Midnight Blue 011. The Grand Prix White car is not 070 it is 086. And Norbert is correct that the Cobalt Blue car is 083.
If I get a chance I will try to tackle the job this weekend ... otherwise soon.

As to revios posts - a lot of these images are of cars that are either on the site or are duplicates. And it is very difficult to tell from only exterior shots if the rest are the same cars or different cars (interior and engine compartment shots significantly help to ID/differentiate the cars). I will go through the images one more time to see if I can pick out any cars that I can match to a VIN. Otherwise until specific images can be matched to a VIN there is no point (or time available) of adding them to the unknown cars on the site.
If anyone can ID a specific car let me know.

Hi there,
I did attend 'Le Mans Classic' last week (BTW : certainly one of the best events on the planet... maybe even the best event !) and shot some pictures of the 964 Turbo S Leichtbau (Porsche Museum car) that was displayed by the Porsche Exclusive Dpt.
Very interesting to note : this car (possibly a pre-series / test car ?!) has not a Leichtbau VIN. As a matter of fact it is VIN WPOZZZ96ZNS470612 which should be a stock 1992 964 Turbo VIN if I am not mistaken! As well no light (Perlon) carpets, no 'Turbo S' text (only 'Turbo') on the carpets and other small differences which makes this car a bit different from the Leichtbau batch cars !

Well that is certainly interesting and it makes sense that is was the prototype built on a standard turbo chassis. Even has the standard weights on the VIN sticker.
Question is why establish a separate VIN series for the production run instead of simply pulling chassis from the line (which was the case for the 1994 Turbo S)?

Great Yannick ! Good Job
Its all the same with the superrare RS 3,8 and RSR 3,8 - similiar "Testcars" or "Check-what- is- possible cars" out of running production do exist !
one of them is still in Porsche Museum too !
