For
full VIN info on VINS, engine numbers, production
dates, sales dates, RHD cars and info on examining
your car for things that are not correct for its VIN
see "Year
Your Car Really Is". For
help in VIN and engine number location on your car
please see "Identifying
Your Roadster".
For
RHD info please see Right
Hand Drive Vin#s. There
were many changes throughout production; so ALWAYS
order with your VIN and Engine Number if applicable.
No returns will be accepted if the VIN was not
provided at time of order. No return of engine parts
will be accepted unless Engine Number was provided at
time of order. We can provide the correct parts with
these numbers. Without them it is all assumptions and
guesses. Thanks. Vin
numbers below indicate the RANGE the numbers would
fall in; it does not mean each year had that many
cars. Production of the 67.5 2000 for instance only
included about 650 cars. Throughout the roadster's
production vins or blocks of vins were not used. Why?
Your guess is as good as anybody's! Estimates are as

Roadster Information from Rallye Enterprises,
Ltd.
Your
left hand drive (LHD) car is usually titled as the
year it was sold and may be 1 or 2 years off from what
it REALLY is. If you do not use the CORRECT year of
your car you will probably get the wrong parts and
that will be YOUR responsibility. No need to worry
though; below is a simple chart; below that are
descriptions of what to look for in checking your
car's "correctness". By now a lot of cars have been
"modified"; some to the point they are now "omelets."
The more you know about what is incorrect on your car;
the better off you will be; at least when ordering
parts.
