As the title says really I want to get hold of an owners manual for my '83 944.

Any ideas where I can get one or does anybody here have one leftover from an old car?

Thanks for the help.

I'll keep an eye on that one for now, at least I know what they look like now. Haven't been to my local OPC yet as it's on the other side of Devon.

Doh! :tard: I haven't been on the forum for a while now & the first thing I say is wrong. (Just like old times then?) :roll:

Looked at the one on porsche shop but doesn't give an option for the year and as they one pictured includes the turbo also I assumed it was for the oval dash.

Will have to give them a call at some point about it.

Oh well no worries. I'm not in a hurry for one, I'm sure getting a second key is more important anyway :D
