Default Handbook information

Unfortunately I have a geniune German handbook and would like to check out the following from my owners label so any light that you can shed would be appreciated

Line 1 is the VIN No.fine
Line 2 says 993 770
Item 3 M6460-61U G6451 - 20
Line 4 L92U MB
Line 5 the extras C00 139 340 454 498 520 545 567 602
I have spotted the Cruise, Long range tank, full leather interior, 8 way heated seats, 10 speaker stereo with Sony MD +CD*10

and any ideas on where I can get an English owners manual

Thanks
Gordon

ps how did I ever manage to buy a 993TT without knowing this!

MOD500 looked through GMUND couldnt find any handbooks even though theres a picture of one. Am I being 'slow', I'd best give them a ring.

Asked AFN last Friday still waiting for the call back!

Phelix thanks I've had a bid will leave it for a few days and try again

You should be able to get a handbook in English from your local Porsche dealer.

See note 9
Every time I visit that OPC AFN Reading(who are on the same site as the importer) its the same usually I end up with the smaller parts FOC as they forget or take to long.
Its now 8 days since I paid them a visit and still awaiting an answer!!

Gordon, I'll stop bidding on this handbook on ebay - i think you want it more than i do so i won't push the price up for you. I reckon you should be able to have it for £30.
We'll have to try somewhere different for lunch next Friday...
