Why would anybody get a certificate of authenticity for a 993? I've never seen one before and always thought they were for much older cars where the history could have been lost in the mists of time.
If I was buying a 993 and the vendor produced a Porsche CoA to validate it was what it purported to be it would just make me suspicious as to why it even needed one.
Well some 993 are 24 years old, and there are no doubt some very dodgy ones out there, and with values as high as they are, I think it would not be a bad idea, as a bit of extra 'proof' that a car was what it was supposed to be? I haven't got a CofA for mine... but then I'm not selling it just yet, but I see why one might have one... This one is puzzling though isn't it, as it definitely suggests there was 'tipronic s' in '93.
