Is there a list of vin numbers for WH cars anywhere ?

OK - I was going from this: http://www.projectvixen.com/DMCUK-archive/msg13728.html

522 IS an early vin!


WH cars are 12171-81 + 99, plus the missing ones, plus the "prototype" - vin 510

Yes it is , wonder if James has anything on that vin

This is the VIN list: http://www.citizenkidd.com/DMC/pages/vi ... nstop=2999

VIN 522 isn't on there, which makes it a "new discovery" to the list, and make it the 12th earliest car (including pre-production prototypes) in existence in the world! And THE earliest non-prototype car on the mainland UK.
If you are able to, I know someone who would love a photo of your VIN plate

Ideally we need a pic of that plate really if possible to confirm this cars vin

Here is the photo of the VIN plate located under the Bonnet

That confirms that, you may not realise how many people will go all misty eyed at seeing that plate

Thanks a million for posting that up

And such an early vin, I wonder if Chris N or Darren have seen this thread yet? It could be an ideal project for them

Cant believe we have sent the Vice-President of DeLorean Motor Company looking through his files for the wrong vin.....twice..whoops sorry James, we'll get the drinks in at Eurofest!
