The most interesting thing about the three is that the service information manual says that you were not allowed to add A/C or a roof. Mine supposedly Stoddard got for a guy as a special, Tom's I believe was ordered by a Porsche salesman for himself. The great thing (to me) about the 88's is that they are serialized, the last four digits are 5XXX, the 5 being the magic number. The US and Canada cars both got them, so you have 22 to choose from.

I have the 15's that came on mine, but I have 16x7 and 16x9" on it now.



Thanks M.! Forgot about the Olaf Lang letter. I sent an email to Steve in the UK. I expect he'll say the same thing. The car in question also curiously has the left fender swoosh.
