another Mercedes glass

Here is another one marked M23000 that I was able to measure today. It is 3mm.

I think you are on to something.

Does anyone have information on engine numbers and what years they were for? I know the spec changed in '92 but I cant find any info on the numbers. The reason I ask is I am looking at a '92 car but the engine number looks to be too early to be a '92 engine but I have no records of the change over.

Anyone??

1990-62L00001, 1991-62M00001, 1992-62N80001, 1993-62P00001

The Cup engines were selected from the production run and carry no numeric "Cup" identifier so you need a Wagenpass or COA from Porsche to authenticate an engine that was actually in a Cup car. And unless Porsche's policy has changed they will not give information by engine number, only by VIN. A real problem if you are trying to find an engines original home.

Thanks for that Mark, looks like it falls within the range

Do we know how many M001's left.

I made a quick count on the RS Database and these are their current numbers, give or take;

1990- 22
1991- 34
1992- 33
1993- 3

These numbers represent approximately one third of the total production.

about 1/3 of all the cars for the database are on the database
but not all cars alive are on the database
i regularly come accross cars that are not on it
And i know of cars that are still not on it because the owner does not want them on
but i think about 1/2 will be realistic
do not know how many cup car are in the US, but a lot moved over after active racing life in Europe

Other than VIN, you can not access detailed information on the site. It will tell you what information they have but not the particulars. Martin Lawrence is the administrator and is very helpful if you have a specific question about a specific car.
