lotsofmon3y1 Posted October 23, 2015 Author Share Posted October 23, 2015 I'm pulling my hair out searching all over the net there's very little information about my serials Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stants Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 There should be also be a vin number stamped on the bulkhead just above the intercooler, if it's an import will be shorter than uk car, I'll try find the link to decoding vin no's on here somewhere the option and trim code are pointless trying to decipher as no one seems to know much about them 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lotsofmon3y1 Posted October 24, 2015 Author Share Posted October 24, 2015 Vin on bulkhead matches the vin on the plate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stants Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 Is it that long ? If so i'd say it's a uk car as mine is about 8 digits long Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savage bulldogs Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 The gc8ck8d number is the model code, I haven't had chance too look but have a squint on scoobypidia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tidgy Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 Uk/european car. Can tell cos jap cars have a 7 digit number for the vin instead of 16 digit cide Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savage bulldogs Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 Think you're probably right there tidgy as my 97 v3 uk had the same code apart from the second "c" in your code was replaced by a "e" in mine . The paint code (406) is the same as both of my classics so it looks like your scoob was originally a silver v2 uk turbo [emoji6] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tidgy Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 although totlay different car, this is what a jap vin number looks like vin is just a number, not a 16 digit code Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stants Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 Usually cosmetic clues give an import away but it's not always the case 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
