Maintenance Book Question

[Bernie B]

I have recently noticed there is a number stamped on the back of the first page of the Maintenance Book, does anyone know the significance of the number?

[RSTarga]

Oh no, another matching no. to worry about?
Mine is 529247 on a 73 so maybe someone can catalog them.

From my June '73 sold '73S...

BTW - For those who never heard the story, my car was sold to it's original owner by our own S Registry adviser Michael Hammond when he was selling cars for Circle in the '70's.

..............yeah, it's a very small world

for what it is worth mine is 208389 for an Australian delivered June 73 production 911E coupe

I have no idea what the numbers mean either
I thought for a minute (when i looked at it in the booklet) that the last 4 might relate to the production number.............but then i looked at my production number which was close but was not a match

we need a bigger sample, and from different original delivery areas and years (and perhaps engine types and body types)
i note with interest the number of them that start with a 5 (although Bernd has one with a 3 - was that US delivered?) Maybe there is some country code and or engine / body code in them...... or then again they could be random (however with the German search for order and structure in everything I doubt that)

515441 on my 71 delivered Aug 17, 1971 in Oklahoma.

That number is the 'Kundenheftnummer' (Client booklet number)

Porsche recorded also the number of this document.

(at least for the swb's...)
