ORIGINAL: sapex666 Different number sequences. N-GTs are 99001-99280 or thereabouts and Lightweight/Tourings are 90001-92050. I was told a few years back (one night when I was abducted by lightweight aliens) that the first 50 chassis numbers were mainly shells and part-built cars used for testing etc. The majority or all were not complete cars. 0051-0060 were 'Special Issue' cars given to team drivers and the like and 0061 was the first car offered for sale to the general public. If this is actually true or not, I don't know for sure. My car is 0076 and has also had an interesting early history. Owners including the Porsche factory and German royalty! Sadly I find this all quite interesting, so if anybody knows of any ex-works drivers or collectors who have one of these cars stashed away, please get them to contact me. Any information gained will be closely guarded! Bring it on

Thanks Martin for the sensible and very constructive reply which makes a lot of sense and indeed backed up by other people in Europe X 3. It would appear that chassis 061 was indeed the very first proper 964RS Basic, as you say the other cars (which have never appeared in nearly twenty years, particularly with a certain retailer) were various experimental or crashed cars .... The Factory did first own my car (Show Car?) and my next step is to contact the factory for any further info ....
Does anyone have a factory contact please? The mystery remains were is 061? Do Porsche still own it, was it crashed written off, lying in a Museum? No one has ever seen or heard of it, in the circles I have been exploring, which technically until proven otherwise 062 is the first known 964RS Basic.
