Yes Tony there was ..... in the Dead Sea Scrolls, there was reference to a great event, beholdent of Man .....
"A Chariot of Lightness and Speed will be begat from great Teutonic wisdom and skill ... it will enlighten Men to the power, truth and stiffness" for this is the word of The Leicthbau ......
It is obviously the fore warning of the 964RS many scholar have confirmed[

Des,
do you have a copy you could send me please []
Jason, will that help? - car on the stand may not have been more than a mock up, earliest car reg. seems to be BB PW 826 which was the blue one in all the press pics - but the rubystone one Jerry Sloniger tested in Aug. '91 which still had more than a hint of pre pod. about it: proper foglights, offset Carrera badge (no RS), Carrera 2 door cards (but RS door fittings). So maybe it's the chassis number of that car we need!

0061 is definitely the first car. It's a C08 Japanese Lightweight surprisingly enough. The earliest date I have is for 0062 which is 3rd June 1991. That's the invoice date (could be reg date too, not sure).
Chassis 065 my old Maritime Garage Queen ...... [

Oh so not anymore ..... []
Anyway there is ALLEGEDLY a maritime blue Carrera 2 chassis car which is a pre-production car according to sources ...... looks every bit and drives as a RS should I am sure it is the real deal ... but C2 Chassis number[]

N-GT numbers run 499000 -499290 stories that they only built 150 then I heard they finished just short of the 290, so Porsche actually have some NGT chassis numbers in reserve.
So yours is 499000 Chris?

290 Hugh. []

But did they build 290 ..... what is the highest NGT Chassis number you have Martin?
My Vin ends 9011, but the first 10 Vin numbers were generally reserved for prototypes etc.
Maybe Martin can offer more information on this.
But the known 993RS factory test car (again mine) has the Vin number ending 90009 ... registered November 1994 in Germany, though a RHD car.
It's also known that chassis numbers have been held in reserve ... but were these complete numbered shells that were used for re-shells, or ?
I recall seeing a 993 Cup car with no shell number on the rear parcel shelf ... ??

I know off VIN 266 ... did they build the sequence to 290 or stop there or indeed use the chassis for other 964RS derivatives?
Hugh, apparently originally 150 was the idea, but such was demand they built at least 100 more for race teams, there well may be unused last few chassis at the factory waiting to be activated but 290 certainly the official end of the sequence, maybe some ended up in the later 3.8RS/R ..... who knows ...... but very desirable this very limited edition of the 964RS.

I believe that to be correct, not sure if they built the whole 290, maybe Martin can tell us if he has a chassis number beyond 266?
Yours is one of the original homologation cars Hugh as where the first 1000 RS Lightweights .....

Cars 0001 thru 0290 all exist. In fact, I'm hoping that 0001 will be at Abbeville! It's a black car.
I have even learnt that cars beyond those stored on the Porsche database exist. For instance, I have details and photos (inc chassis plates) of 2 widebody 3.8 RSRs that are beyond the build numbers quoted. The 'real' amount of cars built will never be known by the likes of us mere mortals.
Look at the C4 Lightweight for instance. They ended up building an extra 2 cars after the run of 20 was completed. All you need is enough cash! []

Martin do you have chassis 499266 on your data base?
