Whatever it is, that’s a bloody beautiful car. Congratulations!

Try putting a post in the 993 section of http://www.911uk.com

Someone there may know the car and it's history

Hope this helps

the first three characters of the vin number identify the make WPO = Porsche

the next three characters advise the build market ZZZ = rest of world car

the next two characters give the start of the model type 99 = some form of 99- car

the next character is a blank character as it is Z (other characters used in USA I believe)

the next character identifieds the model year R = 1994 (S =1995 etc)

the next character identifies the manufacturing plant S = Stuttgart

the next character completes the identity of the car. 3 = identity and with 99- from above we have 993

the final characters are specific to the car and complete its unique identity

As Jason says S variants were not manufactured until 1996 model year

Hope this helps

Enjoy.

Great looking car,but NOT a wide body

You can try pushing the car to a sensible limit and see if it understeers. If it does it is a 4. If the tail comes out then it is a 2. But be careful and drive safe! Sounds like it is a 2 with a body kit. Looks nice and clean though!
