Codes

[Ashley Webb]

On the inside left hand door pillar (1983 SC RoW) there are three labels with the following numbers/codes which I don't understand. Can anyone help decipher them please.

E1
E1-0008
1Z-R0001/1
14R-0055
14R-0056
18R 01 0001


E2
17R-74002
E2-10R
911SC-(SP)79042


NTA PRIMARY MAC
No 043B01

Many thanks,

A search on "NTA PRIMARY MAC" came up with this hit:

VIN DECODE HELP>>>>>>>. - Benzworld.org - Mercedes-Benz Discussion Forum

Since that came on a Benz I'm pretty sure it is not Porsche specific, but it may be country specific. The Benz was UK delivery. Yours? What is the history of the car?

Pretty sure the NTA means "National Type Approval".
Has to do with the car's homologation. Most probably, your car spent some time of it's life in Europe (UK??).
In any case, E1 and E2 are European homologation directives.
Will take a look at mine when I get home in a few hours.
Google WVTA (Whole Vehicle Type Approval), quite surely you will find some answers.

Andy in the UK on the DDK Board says:
NTA PRIMARY MAC = National Type Approval Primary Minister's Approval Certificate

The certificate would probably have been required to verify that certain components (eg headlamps, seatbelts, foglights, indicators, etc) met the required standards of the country the car was imported into.

Maybe an SC that was originally supplied to a country outside of the EU which was then re-imported back into the EU ?
-------------
So as Mike explains, the E1 & E2 codes would specify the specific standards and how they are met.

E1 appears to be Germany & E2 France
"E" Mark and "e" Mark (Homologation for vehicles / vehicle components) - TÜV Rheinland Group

The "e" mark is the proof of compliance with directives (laws) required by the European Union.

and also
