Where should the Aust Compliance Plate be located on an Australian-delivered 986 (1997)? I always thought it should be on the RHS under the trim in the frunk?

Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

It SHOULD be but on the car I am helping with, the plate isn't there. It IS an Australian car. Not sure where else it could be on the early 2.5's. The owner is quite confused as a sale is in the offing

Should be right here, this is my 996 but I am absolutely certain the boxster is exactly the same ..... or on the panel just above like the plate from google below
POST 5Original post
It's a little further down on the 986 from memory, we have a first year 986 Boxster if you want me to take a photo and upload for you.

Merv has just posted on our local Porsche email list that he's found out that the car is an NZ import and does not have the VIN plate attached in the normal AU cars position. Confirmed by Porsche Melbourne I believe....
POST 7Original post
Import? Offer 25% off Merv, could be a nice deal...
POST 8 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post
Thanks everyone. Yes the plate was not in the normal position. The PC Melb confirmed it is a NZ import! Explained now but useful info.
