Default 1993 968 Cabriolet VIN WPOZZZ96ZPS830451

Hi guys, It's great to be part of this Porsche community. I have purchased the above car here in New Zealand. It was originally sold new in Singapore before being brought into NZ in 1999. RHD, Horizon Blue cabriolet, tiptronic, cobalt blue leather interior. I cannot find the option code sticker anywhere. It's not in the service manual and I can't see it in the trunk. I am hoping someone like Jeff968 will be able to work out some details for me from the VIN.
Also, I'd love to know how many cabriolets were sold worldwide, how many of those were tiptronic, how many horizon blue cars were sold worldwide and how many were tiptronic, cabriolet versions? Basically any help would be much appreciated! Thanks in advance.

Tag @jeff968 or drop a post in the pinned thread at the top of the forum. But, iirc, he mostly has USA database.

Hi guys. How do I tag Jeff968 to my thread? Do I need to be on paid subscription to be able to message etc?
New to Rennlist and still learning my way around.

Jeff usually checks in often. i would assume that he is on family vacation. Beach or Mountain? Don't know, be patient.
His web site is the 968 register, or something similar.

I’m sure that we’ll hear from Jeff soon, but his data is only for cars that were destined for North America. Unfortunately he will not have the build data on that VIN

I just did. You add an “@“ to a user name like @BPW1965 If you have notifications set up, you should get an alert that I just tagged you.

I seem to recall him mentioning he was expanding it. Maybe I dreamt it.

The story behind how he acquired this data is long and required a lot of man hours. I doubt he will ever get the opportunity to build a ROW database.
