As some of you guys know, there are people who are really crazy. They want to track down every Ferrari made by their own unique number, the Vehicle Identification Number. Some of these guys are on this site. Because a lot of you guys visit dealers and garages, you can help us.
How? Well, it isn't that hard. From late daytonas the chassisnumber is written on the steeringcolum. For older types you will have to open the hood, but mostly this doesn't happen at dealers. From around 1980, the VIN was introduced. This is the same as the s/n but with more info. It is 17 digits long and can tell a lot about the original market, options and so on. The VIN is also stamped on the steeringcolum, so it is very easy to spot it and write it down. There are dealers who don't like it when people are spotting s/n so photographing them is more easy, because that doesn't attract that much attention. Later models have the s/n in the windows. It appears as for example A1275. This means 101275. The A is 10, B is 11, C is 12 and so on. Just photograph/write down the s/n or VIN and the type of car, and send it to me [email protected]. I will make sure the car is entered in the registry here.
So if you spot a Ferrari on the street, or at the dealer, grap your pen and let us know. For more questions about VINs/ chassis numbers, or how to help, just ask here or PM me.
Thanks
