VIN decode request

Is that last one after the letter N a zero or an O? I have not seen that before on a Longchamp as an indicator of the build month.

As for the build date, it was likely build in late 1975. The registry from the Dutch importer shows car # 02073, 02083 and 02089 being registered from March through to May 1975 indicating that they were customer orders. Car # 02087 wasn't regsitered until October 1975, so was likely a showroom display car.

To clarify, this insn't the build date but there wasn't much time between building the cars, shipping and registry since most were custom ordered.

The next one is # 02217, again custom ordered and registered in March 1976.

I hope this helps you.

Thank you very much!  I am not sure about the zero or O designation.  Are you saying you have not seen an 'O' before?   Could it be an O ?   I took it to be a zero, but, in my limited research I have not seen that digit as a zero. 

I haven't seen the letter O used before on that position. But that doesn't mean very much as I don't have access to all the VIN numbers. That said, the last 5 digits are numbers on all Longchamps and Deauvilles, not the last 6. I do have a list of 50 plus of these and all of them have this on common. I think the Pantera has that as well.

There are several Pantera VIN decoders on the forum and even there I couldn't find the letter O used as an indicator of the build month.

It kind of makes sense though. Plenty of DMVs and what not would easily mistake the letter O for a zero right?

Here is a pic of the data plate

I would definitly call that a letter O and not a zero especially with the spacing in between them. Always a first for everything!
