Just checked my original hard backed sales book for the 2005MY turbo and turbo S, shows the seats as Spy's post above.

Ive previously owned, a brand new Boxter S & 996 C4s (Did a PCGB track day at Silverstone, awesome).
Ive recently bought a 996 Turbo Cab.
Love it, but it does not have memory seats, no great shakes, just thought it would have been standard spec, any ideas why/Not?
Replies Appreciated.
as Richard says on the Turbo it was either or, I think I'm right in saying on the coupe it was electric memory seats or the no cost option of sports seats and sunroof. Given yours is a cab not sure what you got in lieu of the sunroof.
I've got the sports seats on mine and do prefer them as they hold you in place better when pressing on, some of the larger framed individuals comment on them being a little tight across the shoulders. The only thing I miss is the dipping passenger mirror which is part of the memory seat package, just means i need to be extra careful when parallel parking
I believe the Sunroof was standard on the Turbo.
Original Purchasers had the choice of standard, electric memory seats or as a no cost option, semi electric sports seats.
You can tell the difference between the two by the "wings" on the sports seats at shoulder height. Standard seats do not have the "wings" and are straight (albeit with a slight curve) from the top to bottom.
Just checked my original hard backed sales book for the 2005MY turbo and turbo S, shows the seats as Spy's post above.
The electric tilt/slide sunroof is shown as I no. Option 650 for an additional charge,for both Turbo and S. I haven't got the original price lists so can't tell if it was standard on the Turbo s (my car hasn't got the 650 code on the VIL) when opting for sports seats. I'm sure I read that somewhere before
Cheers for the replies, my previous c4 cab had memory seats, only a problem if mrs Skippie drives the car which is not likely ;-))
Not sure about the wings, as I'm a tall skinny chap, so they just hold me nicely.
On a separate note, are there any reasonable suggestions on a system for removing the hardtop, I've seen winches etc, but there were some suggestions that the clamp may damage the roof.
Previously I had the porsche wall bracket, which was basically an aluminium frame that held the roof, with a nice porsche logo'd cover, albeit I cant seem to find it on Porsches web site, do they still do it?
Other than the manual system, thoughts?
Nick.
Hi Ashley,
All i could find is the floor stand.
The one i had before was an alluminium frame, that bolted to the wall, and the roof hung on it. Unfortunatly i gave it away with the car.
Either way im interested in getting something thats garage roof mounted to remove the roof, some kind of winch would do.
Thanks anyway though.
Nick
