Merv Posted 9January, 2019 Report Share Posted 9January, 2019 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merv Posted 9January, 2019 Author Report Share Posted 9January, 2019 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edgy Posted 10January, 2019 Report Share Posted 10January, 2019 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen Tinker Posted 10January, 2019 Report Share Posted 10January, 2019 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.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merv Posted 11January, 2019 Author Report Share Posted 11January, 2019 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
