Because Race car, same way as people speccing radio delete on the latest GT cars
Not to you, but to the track day warrior who specced it???
That doesn't compute either as if that were the case then why did they delete the buckets? [IIRC: Buckets were standard, deleting for sports seats was a no cost option. Reinstating aircon was a no cost option, but crucially it was an option. Reinstating the centre console was also an option (something in the mists of my memory seems to think it was not free though and priced at about £120, but not positive)].
Seriously - if it were a track day warrior spec : buckets and Clubsport (cage, harness, extinguisher) were zero cost options on the 996. So that isn't it.
What I strongly suspect happened is that they forgot (and the dealer didn't point it out) to select the non-cost option to reinstate the climate control on their comfort car when ordering it. I don't imagine that anyone would deliberately have specced a non-bucket seat car with Xenons and a console with a CD holder but without climate control.
It is astonishingly rare though - there were only a handful of even Clubsports and RSs in the UK which were specced without climate control.
