    Good question. "My" serial no. was WPOZZZ95ZJS905020. I had to sell mine when DOT ruled them unable to come into the US. I have a scrapbook of all the paperwork including the order confirmation, production updates, the DOT ruling, and finally a letter from DOT warning me to not try bringing mine into the US.

    I don't have numbers. This was driven to this event by a very well known Porsche enthusiast. I didn't snoop for numbers. Just enjoyed seeing an awesome car.

    Thank you for the pictures anyway

    I have only see one 959S for the moment, on the street just on the street in front my office. This was a very surprising sight to see such a car used like a regular car!

    What was the configuration of "your" car (colors, right mirrors, equipment)? Do you know where it is now?
    These 959S are the best ones in my mind, all the good points of the 959 without the problems of the hydraulic suspension, AC and so on.

    I didn't have choice of options except color...only available in red or white. I chose red and last I heard it was in Italy but that was a long time ago.
