XJ-S VINs
As a few users have found out, there are always some surprises when I set up a new system, in this case, the decoding of VIN numbers.
For one, tonight a user presented me with a VIN for an XJ-S that has an assembly plant code of “K.” They should all be “C” as far as I know, and “K” doesn’t even map out to a modern Jaguar plant. Anyone have an idea?
I also need to do a better job of sorting search results with the early and late style cars, which I promise to get around to one of these decades.
Update: After 1987 that VIN position was swapped for emissions control specification. Of course, with that particular set of VIN numbers there’s no date code so you can’t do a straight-up check to see whether the position is factory or emissions… The standard North American VINs look smarter and smarter.
