Decoding your VIN

Postby metroturbo on May 25th, 2008, 6:46 pm

I have copied the pages from the EPC that contain the information on how to decode your car's VIN. There is one for MK1 cars (to Oct 84) and MK2 cars. I don't have any information for the Rover Metro/100. Feel free to put them on the website if they are some use.

Many thanks to metroturbo..this has now been transferred to the website.

NB. This will be renamed Colour Codes and Vin Plates on the website when i can get round to it.

Incidentally, the Mk3 Metro is model designation 'XP' and engine 'E' = 1120cc K-series.
