That's great. The California DMV rejected my plate BCHSPDR as obscene. They said they will refund me in 6 months...or less. I'm thinking 6 months, it is California.

I've actually run that plate on my 968 for over 15 years, but I felt it would be appropriate to transfer it to the Spyder. It was a bit bittersweet pulling it off my 968 but hopefully the 968 will soon be going to a new home where it will continue to receive the attention it deserves. Truth be told, I wish I had more time to enjoy it and space to park it, as I would keep the 968 as well if I did.

I would have had the plate on the Spyder more quickly but I was waiting for notification from the DMV that they had the paperwork, which happened on Weds.

From another Spyder owner: "So an update. Had some free time and analyzed the VIN data. Although the last digits of North American bound VINs are sequential, VINs incorporate a series of patterns on digits left of the year designation, and rolls at each 100 units. By observing the pattern, I was able to fill in the blanks, find the bounds, and validate what's real. So what I found/confirmed:

MY2011
First VIN: WP0CB2A81BS745001
Last VIN: WP0CB2A80BS745751

750 MY2011 units to North America

MY2012
First VIN: WP0CB2A86CS745061
My VIN: XXXXXXXXXXX745195 (only 7 built after mine)
Last VIN: WP0CB2A89CS745202

141 MY2012 units to North America

So, confirmed total for North American Spyders is 891 units."

Zeuss, Thanks for taking the time to sort the VIN's and post the info...Looks like ours were running down the line together...I'm 8 before yours, 15 to the end.

You are most welcome. It's fun to see. I may start a registry.
