I find that interesting that there would be that type of inconsistency - you can imagine the car going through the build process and then right at the end, as the assembler places that particular build sticker on the hood, it is a sticker for another car?
Maybe it was a Friday turbo.

For reference, the 991.2 also has the same sticker on the hood as the 996 does.

20 years takes its toll whether driven or not...
On many items, worse if it isn't driven! Looks like they just invested $4,000 getting it running, my guess is there is plenty more that needs to be done before it is fully sorted.

Yes, as in a final confirmation that this was in fact the car, optioned, as it rolled off the assembly line.

Previous generations may have been factory applied...

Just checked to be sure, nope, no sticker in my manual.

I don't really know the answer to that, but that's why I am curious. All turbos I have seen, mine included, have been equipped with the same sticker I posted above.
It seems odd, to me at least, that a same vintage car would not have this - in fact, it looks as if the BAT car and my car were built within a couple of months of one another.

This is probably very accurate. It isn't always good to leave it sitting like that, for so long.
