I wish there was a way to know how many cars were built with what. I wonder how many were built like mine at factory...polar silver with Navy blue int full leather, x50 with factory installed PCCB.

Anyone know of another? Anyone else have those options but different color?

You have the full leather option?

Are you sure your interior is "Navy Blue", and not Metropol Blue?

I was referring to whoever sold you the car.

You can check the option codes attached to the inside of the front hood to see what options were factory installed on your car.

I don't have it memorized. I have the option codes in a notebook at home, but I'm on the road right now and can't access it. I have posted here previously about this (listing the various leather option codes, along with what is included in each of the options), so you can either search for the posts or I will repost the codes when I get home. If others here have the codes, maybe they will post them for you.

Here is my previous post in this Forum concerning leather and the 996 Turbo...

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

This depends on what is meant by "full leather". The 996 Turbo has always had a leather interior from the factory. To this leather interior the car could be ordered with one of the following leather options:

Option E70 - "Leather Interior Package", where the following are covered in leather: lower part of instrument panel, trim molding groove for upper dashboard, side fresh air vents, defroster cover, frame speaker cover, center air vents, carrier for heater control, frame of air conditioner, switch covers left and right, and ignition lock rosette.

Or

Option E74 -" Small Leather Interior Package", where the following are covered in leather: lower part of instrument panel, trim molding groove for upper dashboard, center air vents, carrier for heater control, frame of air conditioner, switch covers left and right, and ignition lock rosette.

Or

Option P55 - "Full Leather Interior Package", where the following Instrument surround, trim molding groove, side air vents and slats, defroster trim, speaker cover, central air vent frame, frame for heater/air conditioner control unit, left, right, and lower switch covers, ignition rosette, rear center console, switch covers, ashtray cover, handbrake cover, lid for storage, sunvisors, cover for vanity mirror, front center console, CD or tape shelf and switch cover.

It seems that owners and used car dealers (and maybe even Porsche dealers) don't really understand what the 996 Turbo came with in stock form and/or what the option codes are.

I see many people here looking for or having bought a 996 Turbo stating that the car has "full leather". If the car's option codes do not include either E70, E74 or P55, then the car has the stock leather. The only "full leather" option is E55. If you don't have E55 listed as an option code, then you don't have "full leather".
