Default whats your build number?

After having someone question why my 96 was built in feb. 95 I got to wondering what the earliest 993tt in the US was.

My car is a TS (I.e. designated as a 96) and is build # 73. (Last three digits on vin).

Anybody have an earlier car?

Geeze man, yours is really old!
I might have a look when it comes back from the shop and see how much newer mine is. But mines also a 95 registered 96.

There was a build date list in a past 993 forum post.

HA! Is that a jab from a water-cooled guy?

Mine's a TS code #165. My car must have been on ^ that boat as well.

I've been looking unsuccessfully for an "ancient" air cooled machine myself , thence the little jealous jab...

Mine is a VS, #087, which makes me a very early 97, I reckon?

Waldo had a March 1995 build. The VIN is WPOAC2991TS375090. The first owner was PCNA, and I beiieve it was the Autoshow car that toured the US. Pretty similar number to 911headhunter... both end in 090. How does that work?

Rufus was built a year later March 1996, still a 1996 MY. The VIN is WPOAC2998TS376186. Does that mean it was the 1186th 993TT? How does that work, exactly.

Mine is a VS (1997) and a build number of 222. So about 1/3 the way into the 1997 production for the USA.

His is an ROW number - ZZZ; yours is a TS number.

Interesting. My car is the one in the magazine and was first owned by Porsche Spain and used for the press tour. This magazine is from June 1995.
