vin number

ocj · 2007-04-25 07:01:13

Hi there, I'm looking to decode the vin number from my car but seem as it's a 1980 it has the old style vin number instead of the 17 digit umber used after 1981. Does anyone here know of a website or somewhere that might be able to help me ? Thanks OCJ:D

Capri should be simple.....if its UK built it should have BB in it for Halewood,I think German built is G something, then a 5 figure number which will co-incide with original engine number and then letters then denote the month and year of build, something like that...
