Hi to all again. Have been trying to get a decode of my VIN but can't see to find a decent source. Can anyone out there help me with a decode of my VIN number ? The number is VIN- SAJAC 1312 KF 44616. The car is a 2002 3.2 litre Jaguar. I would be grateful for any help...... Alan Murg

 

Looks to be an incorrect VIN - not even enough characters.

 

Hi Alan,


The VIN consists of 17 characters. The last 6 numbers, in your case, F44616, is the serial Number and usually quoted when trying to obtain spares.
The first 11 characters tell you where the car was made, which model it is, which hand drive it is, auto or manual, size of engine.


S=Made in Coventry, AJ=Made by Jaguar, A= Rest Of World Market, Not US market, C= Auto, RHD, 13= Standard wheel base, The 8th digit tells you about the emissions( Yours seems to be missing) 1= Check digit, not important, 2= model year, Yours is 2002, K= 3.2 Ltr AJ27 Motor, F44616=Serial No (Last 6 Characters)


I translated mine from a website that was on a laptop that has died, but I had written mine down and translated it. I think apart from the missing Character I have managed a translation. As I said the really important characters, from a maintenance point of view, are the last 6.


Hope this helps


Bill.

 

Thanks for your info, I was trying to find out information on the trim of the car , things like the colour of the leather interior etc. Do you have any suggestions ? Once again thanks very much.......Alan

 

It should tell you on the sticker on the drivers door. Should give the trim, interior colour, exterior paint colour. I don't have a photo but for example mine says "Paint code: CGG" and all the specs should be like that.

 

Alan,


The trim and paint code on my RHD model are on a sticker located just to the right of the passenger side bonnet/Hood hinge, That gives various other details as well.

Posting all 17 of the VIN would help!
