Thanks for that Glenn but where do I find the meanings for

A23
C90
FB1

And interior code LT

Interior code LT = Black. Don't know the others.

I "think" that LT may mean partial leather (e.g. seating surfaces are leather - rest is vinyl). For the other missing ones - they may represent a group of options packaged for special pricing. You may have to purchase a certificate of authenticity from Porsche (Porsche North America offers the service - not sure if other jurisdictions do also) for around US$120. With luck this will list all the option codes with the translations.

Be advised tho that the results may be less than you expect. I have a '91 S2 that came to Canada from Japan with no stickers on it. I had a hard time getting this certificate from PCNA (the ROW VIN number seemed to throw them for a loop) and the results I got back listed hardly anything - side moldings and 16 ventilier badges. Given this is an S2 I don't believe those were options [] . While my S2 is VERY plain - the options did NOT mention "version for Japan" or "sunroof delete" or "prepared for radio". I think as Porsche standardized production (e.g. one wiring harness with standard radio and 10 speaker system both included) a number of options became standard equipment and so disappeared from the list. Still cost US$120 tho [:-]
