Built fairly early in the model year, 210th US spec targa, Champagne full leather interior with blue trim, no other options. The paint code is strange, as it is a paint to sample code but the car is painted a color that was available on the 911 in 1985.

93021-64F = 930/21 engine for USA/Japan; 64F = (6) 6 cyl eng/(4) 911 Carrera/F = 1985
91568-74F = 915/68 transmission - 74F = (7) Trans for 6 cyl/ (4) 5 speed USA 911/F = 1985

Note: 1985 Carreras for the USA/Japan markets were supposed to get 915/73 transmissions. You could have, (1) a sticker with a mistake, and a 915/73 in the car, or (2) the car might actually have a 915/68 trans that was a carryover from 1984 (because your car is a very early - 0210 - production 1985).

Hi what does the 'subcode' on the paint reference S4 mean pls?

[jrbennett]

S4 is the sales/order code for Prussian Blue Metallic, 33X is the actual paint code.
