Build date

[Wills]

Where would I find the build date on my 997?

You should be able to get this off your OPC.

I think there is a web site address they can give you that will allow you to follwo the build in a bit more detail.

No I have the Car, its been built and is sat on the drive. (it was a physical car in the uk unregistered hence the question about the build date)

I was wondering if it is shown/stamped on the car, they show the build date on BMW's just wondering if they do the same on Porsches.....and was to lazy to try and find it! [][]

The VIN number should provide information on build date. Try this VIN decoder:

The VIN identifies a lot about the car and will tell you when it's built from the 10th digit. This can vary significantly from the registration year so beware.
You can also get a letter of origin from Porsche GB if you have any further doubts.

Thanks for the replies, the VIN decoder says mines a US spec model! [][]

Most components will have a date stamp - the seat belts label or the underside of the central ashtray are favoured items, add a few weeks on to their production date and you won't be far off. Ditto with tyres they should have a 4 digit number, WWYY so 3609 = week 36 2009.
