Customer Service Book Number on Kardex Card

[Lloyd Conway Ash]

Can anyone help on some kardex card questions. i have a number in the customer service book number box on the kardex card and was wondering is this any use in help to piece together the history of my 356A.

Thanks

So what's the question? Do you have a photo of the Kardex?

I have had 3 off 356 before and all of the kardex cards have never had a number in the box called KF Heft. im restoring a car that has a number in this this box on the card and was wondering what it means.

Thanks

Shouldn't the service book number be the same as the chassis number?

If you Google Porsche Kardex, there are plenty of them, and I don't see a single one where KF heft is filled in. Exactly what is it anyway? I have never seen this item, or maybe I have but never knew what it was called??

I think we need to distinguish between the box which reads Kfz.-Brief Nr. and KD-Heft Nr. the KFZ only pertains to cars sold and registered in Germany. This box would list the kraftfahrzeugbrief (registration) number. The KD heft box lists the warranty booklet number. All booklets had a unique number.

To answer your question, the original service book, if still with the car, would give you some insights into the history of your car. Tis would only pertain to when and where the cars was serviced. In some instances it also lists the name of the first owner and selling dealer but not always.

My '64 C has the KD-Heft-Nr filled (86620), and my '65 SC also has the number 90160 in the space.
