Where can I find how to figure out the manfacture date
for the sign in left door hinge? It says L041 and that is the color. The other number is deliverydate. Where can I check when it was manufactured ? I can't find it here in 914world. |

Where can I check when it was manufactured ? I can't find it here in 914world. Andy gave you the decoder for the chassis number (use a 19xx calendar for the year it was actually made - usually a month or a few before it was first sold, week number there starts counting even with one day in it ~ 1/1/19xx), but just to be clear, that is not the "delivery date", but rather the date assigned to the chassis when the body was complete - more or less. I say the latter because in my case the chassis number comes out to 8/31/72, & my US VIN sticker date is 8/72, but it's clearly impossible to have completed a 914 in one day from a body shell/chassis! Otherwise,mine is the fasted completed 914 in history! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Delivery date from the factory or to a dealer should be several days to weeks after the chassis number date (or month +/- overseas to USA, Asia, etc.). |
