rpmracing025@hotmail.com Posted 30December, 2014 Report Share Posted 30December, 2014 Hi, I recently purchased an 87 wide body at a salvage auction in Sydney - nice car, but flood damaged. I'd like to track some some history on this car and if possible the previous owner. There can't be many white wide body '87 targa's in Sydney - this one likely belonged to an enthusiast given its condition. Any information on this car would be much appreciated. Cheers Al.

Stew F Posted 30December, 2014 Report Share Posted 30December, 2014 I suspect it would have been insured by shannons or similar. Anywho, if you know who insured it you might have some joy by contacting them and discussing it with them. They obviously can't give you the info, but they can give the po yours because you've asked them to. Then, if they feel inclined, they can contact you. I reckon there should be some means where, for a fee, you can do a history search. No names, just history, like bought new in Sydney in October 1997, rego transferred to SA in 2001, front end wrecked in 2006, etc. It could also include the option of forwarding your contact number on to all previous owners last known address. Just an idea. Do you know where it came from?. Try local Porsche centre with the VIN. Anyway, good luck with the search. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shady Speedway Posted 30December, 2014 Report Share Posted 30December, 2014 I'm about to embark on a similar mission. I have the original rego number from NSW and rego papers with 2 previous owners names and addresses here in SA. I want to knock on a door and here somebody say. "Oh yes, I have all the books, service history and tool kit for that car" It's a long shot, but stranger things have happened. Good Luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeM Posted 31December, 2014 Report Share Posted 31December, 2014 If anyone is near Benalla, Victoria and knows where my 912 came from (I know one of you know roughly where it was) I'd like to get some history Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dusty Posted 31December, 2014 Report Share Posted 31December, 2014 Sorry if you're already aware but If you're looking for basic information like if the car is matching numbers, delivery origin, original colour, options etc you can email Porsche directly and they'll get back to you with what they have. For free too I might add. It won't help with the fine detail but it's something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it's originally a LHD German delivered, but would be good to have all that other info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
