You state C18 if so it was made for the Japan RHD market or is it C16 which is U-K is this typo error on your part . Google the codes and you will see what are all extras fitted to your car as to was it a launch car I could not help there .Enjoy what you have got, great cars

Hi Gary

Was the car delivered to AFN Park Lane or Chiswick? You could contact Porsche Cars GB (the Porsche Customer Assistance Centre), they might be able to tell you if the car was originally a launch car. A lot of the launch cars were silver with terracotta. What colour is yours?

Good luck - sounds like a lovely car!

Chris

Good Morning Chris
Thanks for coming back .
I can confirm that she was supplied by AFN Ltd of Chiswick in London and you are spot on she's in Silver with full Terracotta leather ( including the air vents and door sills ) and has the full Carbon Fibre kit.
I noticed that I put down that one of the factory extras was 398 , this should have been 396.
I have checked with the DVLA and they have confirmed that there are only 2 Boxster 986 Tiptronic 2.5l 1996 ( P registration ) left on the UK roads . I have managed to track down the other one and unfortunately this one is in the hands of a boy racer and is far from in its original format and has over 130,000 miles on it .

Once again thank you for your help
Have a nice day
Gary

Good morning Gary

It sounds like you have an amazing car there! It might be worth calling in to PC West London, they might be able to give you some of the history on the car.

Have a great day

Chris

Hello Adrian from Yeovil and welcome. Almost right- just need to post it in the Boxster forum - moved it there for you![]

Hi Adrian, you're just down the road from me but i don't have the answer. Best place for the solution is Boxa.net which is easily the most active and informative forum for Boxster owners. Suggest you sign up.

Could be various reasons for it .
You can get the solution from right here by sending Steve Winter at Jaz Porsche specialist in St Albans an Email he is the Boxster Technical Advisor, no need to ask else where go straight to a professional who has experience rather than lots of random guess work.
But ultimately it may need a visual inspections.
Good luck hope you get it sorted.
Cliff.
