So a V, W or X plate could be a 2000 model year car. @T911UK can give you all the build data on your car if you ping him your VIN. Also all the build codes model by model and year by year can be found here: https://www.stuttcars.com/technical/option-codes/ can't see one that specifically indicates the anniversary crested parts in silver.

Not sure I'd be quite as happy with the later set up. BTW the S speedo is numbered round to 175. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In practice having driven my 2000 and 2004 in Europe a couple of times each it's not something you notice as an issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ninesomething Posted August 17, 2020 Report Share Posted August 17, 2020 Tootling along which I do occasionally the mileage is excellent. In fact it's still surprising how good it is when I'm wailing on it. Something I've noticed is if you stand behind the car while it's idling there's virtually no unpleasant exhaust smell - like all the fuel is being completely burnt and turned into pure oxygen.
