Just been to look at a 300dt elegance

on an R plate and I want to find out what year the car was actually built. I hear some cars could be built earlier but not actully got registered until a few years later because of a botched far east order

I have the vin and engine number and have come acrros the russian vin decoder but this only tells me delivery date

Hello Billy

enter the VIN here all 17 figures and you will have the answer

unfortunately that only tells me the delivery date not the date it left the factory!

Unless of course I am, being stupid

Thats the best that you will get,, they only other way is to remove a piece of trim somewhere as there will be a label attached with the date on it
