Vin numbers
« on: 06 July 2010, 19:46:29 »
Hello all, just as a point of personal interest can anyone tell me what the vin number went up to on the mini facelift model before the Final face lift started?
Kind regards

Thanks again, I have a 2000 V registered elite that I have had from new, when it was my business vehicle it was maintained on contract by the main agent & they always said it was one of the last batch of elite's built & i'm now trying to confirm this from the vin number.
Kind regards.

hmmm that would be estate only...
so refering to our Vin plate FAQ...

From Model Year 99 to end of Production the chassis numbers changed, example:

W0L 0 V B F35 W 1 000001

W0L = World Manufactuere Identifer
0= Special Vehicle ID ( 0 = No Special)
V = Vehicle Platform (Not for Dealer Use)
B = Vehicle Designation ( Not for Dealer Use)
F35 = Denotes Vehicle Body Style ( F35 = 5 Door Est)
W = Production Year  ( W= 98, X= 99, Y=00, 1=01)
1 = Manufacturing Plant (1 = Ruesselsheim)
000001 = Chassis Number
--------------------------------------------------------
Paint & Trim Codes example:
Y 567        XXAI

Y=Paint Type ( Y= Solid Paint, Z = Metallic Paint)
567 = Paint Code
XXAI =  GM Drive Code Trim


So talking estates....the number will start

W0L 0 V B F35 X 1

The 5 door estate are listed as F35 & the saloon is P69 but i'm told regardless of the body type or specification the last 7 numbers are in running build sequence.
