Hi guys. How does one find out when one's car was built (rather than registered?) My car was registered on 1/8/1995 but I am curious!

Thanks, wozy. Tried that already and sadly PCGB are not issuing any further Certificates of Authenticity until at least the new year. I just wondered whether there was any other way of working it out?

Am I missing something here... Why would anyone need a "Porsche Certificate"...?

It tells you the original detials of the car, dates, colour , dealer sold etc, and also the original options, so you can tell what if anything has been added or removed.

I originally believed my car to be a Jan '95 car based on its registration date but found documents that came with it indicating it was delivered to Porsche Reading in early Dec '94.

Some of the plastic components removed from the car show an Oct '94 date stamp IIRC.

Thanks but i'm still none the wiser. My bonnet sticker and colour code sticker in the frunk give me the option details and factory colour. My Documents give me the Dealer info.

This is obviously just another example of the classic Porsche market gone mad and everyone following suit and jumping on the bandwagon! :wtf:

The fella is just interested in the build date of his car. ...... I can't see an issue with this, it's a kinda nice thing to know imo.

It is 'free' with PCGB membership, no I wouldn't pay £70 for one. but if people want to then it's up to them.
 
You get get more than one certificate with PCGB membership, handy for a multiple owner.
