Why Mechanical Seat Height Adjuster??? Is this an optional extra? Or os there an Electrical Seat Height Adjustment too or something???
Also, I seem to be missing a couple of options, anybody have any idea why?
For instance, the car has BOSE, OBC, Litronics. None of them mentioned.

Litronics/OBC/Bose arent opotions (standard) on a turbo. so not listed
Manual seat adjuster listed as its got sports seats I think though not 100%, you do lose the memory you get with the normal spec seats
Migration info. Legacy thread was 125852
That would explain it then.
You are right about the Sports Seats. These do not have the memory function, only the regular 'comfort' seats have these.
Was Full Leather also standard on TTs?

Hi,
Slightly hijacking this thread - firstly does this VIN sticker look OK and secondly what does it tell you?
Thanks
Migration info. Legacy thread was 126201
Full leather was standard on all 996s pretty much. Turbos seem to have leather steering wheel airbag covers too.
Stats007- the vin sticker is under the front compartment lid (although if it is not this is a tell tale that the bonnets been replaced... unscrupulous people have tried to fit copies, although I read that there is some particular detail which makes a copy very easy to spot...). It has data on it that tells you the engine no, chassis no, colours and all the options fitted by the factory, denoted by special codes. A copy of the vin sticker is in the front of the car's service book.

Hi,
The photo I added was of a VIN sticker under the bonnet of a 996 - just wondered if someone can tell me if it looks OK and what the numbers all mean.
Thanks,
