Yeah the larger one is VIN/M-Code tag while the smaller one is the production plate.

And for example, the above 48-3-2852 is read as following;

48 = week of the year
3 = day of the week i.e. wednesday
2852 = production batch number of the plant

now thats some learning for me, many thanks for your time sir, will update tomorrow about thing and on that note time to say good night, shab bakhair and Allah hafiz

I'm also waiting for your info on the Thing, although it does look like a rather tall order

whenever i will get some concrete info you will be first to have it and i've told same to @reezvaan.

Does that mean you are giving up the chase on the PC RT bug?

i guess priorities shall be swapped now

[mahmood]

i've been to denter's place, he didn't came today to work coz of flu and fever and i didnt feel like asking him of his health, so guys lets wait for couple of days more. in short no news is the news

[mahmood]

the chasis on above mentioned Thing is 1812598999

production plate is read as 07-5-2837

manufacturing code VIN is missing, its teared off, holes are present of the rivets but no VIN

@reezvaan plz shed some light on this particular sample on basis of the chasis

Most impressive!

Now this is taking things to a far better level than what we are used to seeing in discussions. This is going beyond the 'choti tail light/bari tail light' debates.

Thumbs up!

@murtaza_murti hold this speedo for me, will you, please?

It's all yours

@ Mahmood

Thanks buddy.

@ Reezvaan

I must admit, your knowledge of VIN/M codes is deeply impressive to say the least No...priorities haven't changed, I would still prefer the 58 ragtop but:

1. Price is way, way too high
2. It must be one of the most (if not the) horribly screwed up cars I've come across in quite a while, and that's saying something. Short of Baja'ing it or sticking a frount-mounted radiator and a Toyota engine in it, I don't see how the previous owners could have messed it up more than it is now!
3. Just the thought of the time, effort and required to put this straight (ie back to correct specs) is enough to scare a dare-devil, though I'd certainly be willing to save it, providing its cheap.

I would also appreciate any updates that anyone can give on the car.
