From the Two-sixties.

SARRXGLGB30000007 - Breakers Yard

SARRXGLGN2D000007 - Alberto

Two ZT V8's with almost the same vin no. One left hand drive one right hand drive. Both vin. 007

so what do the different letters signify?

Were any other body types found with such deviations?

More from the Two-sixties.

SAR RX G L G B 3 0 000007 = Manual RHD 2003 ????????

SAR RX G L G N 2 D 000007 = Manual LHD 2002 Longbridge

The B 3 0 = manual RHD = 2003

The N 2 D = manual LHD = 2002

Nic is the man to answer this one (not knocking Tim), but I suspect there was a "development" reason why there are 2 number sevens...

Hi David, I have already emailed Nic, so we shall see.....strange, but true!?

tarado0 · 1st January 2010, 21:51

Here I put more pics about development cars.

I think that this photo is a preproduction ZT 385:

And here the second car with VIN 007. I had these photos in my file from long time ago. But I did not know that it was the 007 car.

More pictures about development cars:

Interior VIN 003

ZT V8 with 51 plate, maybe vin 004? 005?:

And I have a question: Is this the same car??

Here are some very recent pictures of the RHD 07. The years have taken their toll:

Davids right Nic may have more info. This is from May 2006 when we last talked to Nic about 007's

"This is getting interesting. I know the registration number, it's triggered a memory. There was another car that I used to get confused with and that reg was BF52 UGC not UCG. Vaguely remember the car, but I think that it was a general car that got used for various disciplines.

Don't get too concerned about the ISO model year numbers, I'm more interested as to why records show the car to have a B in the VIN where as the one on the car is an N for hand of drive and transmission?

ISO model years normally kicked in about 6 months before the change of the year so the 3 is actually correct. We used to change around June time so the fact that the car was built from June to late 2002 means that the 3 is ok.

As you say, there are holes and without physically seeing the car myself it's a tad harder to pin down. However, it all makes for interesting reading."
