Scafidel Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 From your VIN, I see you have "A" CHASSIS TYPE, which I believe stands for ALTERNATIVE. Can you shed any light on this? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats one of the most common designations for a USA Caterham kit - it surfaces frequently. I had a 2003 Caterham with similar designation. The only other things I would expect to see on this Caterham are "3" for S3 or "O" for Other, both of which can also appear in comparable USA kits. An approach could be made to the Caterham historian to see what the archives have on this car but that just usually gives a build sheet with the same VIN. It mostly never explains why a VIN was coded the way it was by the factory. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeerCat Posted April 1 Author Share Posted April 1 Croc.... thanks for the input. My findings agree with your comment and Scafidel's comment/question ....the "A" is for Alternate chassis type & frequently used for the Non-UK market. I have significant documentation on the car including the Kit Specification form, the order/build sheet/proforma invoice, manufacturer's Statement of Origin, shipping documents, and other documents and info.
