daddydoodoo Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 Hi guys, appreciate this may have been asked before regarding age / vins. My latest Adria project van is presumed pre-92 as there is no window etching and the vIn number is only 11 digits long. First number is 89 then ADC. There are some numbers toward the end possibly hinting at 1993? Am I right in thinking the first part is the year? I need the age for insurance purposes. Thanks in anticipation. DDD.

noreply Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 The year of manufacture is 19(89) The Last 5 Digits (xxxxx)denote the number that were manufactured in that year. . Your Serial number should be in the form 89ADCxxxxx. . P. S. Check Your Gas Pipes, especially the one between the fire and the hob. These are steel and, like car brake pipes, may rust through. Best replace them with "Kunifer" copper alloy brake pipe of suitable size. It doesn't corrode under normal road conditions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gongoozler Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 I thought the Forma was the successor to the Optima, our Optima (as far as I can detect) is a French sold model 1990, and so if I am correct then I assume they were making Formas in 89 for abroad before marketing them here?
