Paul cars with SS are deff 94/95 cars,TS are deff 95/96 cars,there are even some VS around 96/97.
Dont believe the vin site any way,despite what tom says,most of the chassis numbers 390 for rs if its SS 390 or TS 390 or SV390, run reasonably accuratly.
If ever in doubt about a car,check under the knee pad by the radio opening for the production number,which should match the rear shelf number on clubsport or standard version.
I can check numbers for club members,but not dealers.These numbers only need checking if you suspect a shell change,or 2 halfs welded together etc .These later rs are quite easy to prove they are genuine rs or not.
The factory contact only needs to be used as almost last resort,the production number is much more useful for the earlier cars.The factory do get a little tired of folks just checking numbers to say if it is or is not.When the new Museum is in place,we hope as a club to have a couple of nominated people to be able to just pick up the phone and speak to the archives etc to check history,matching numbers etc.
Paul,if you think the rs is confusing,the gt2 is complicated beyond belief.Plenty of ex racers getting road car id etc
May be a factory visit,Museum and new motorsport facility at weisach could be on the cards ,with a tour of the archive etc.And of course stop on the way back for the ring or spa!
What about it in 2008.
