On a Bugeye I am interested in, I have discovered an apparent anomaly in
the year and VIN. The car has no VIN plate but is considered to be a
1961 Mk1 and has been registered in two states as such. However, the VIN
is listed on both registrations as AN5L xxxx. Since they made, what,
59,000 Bugeyes and ended in 1961, a car considered a '61 should have a
five digit number, somewhere approaching 59,000. If the four digit
number is correct, it should be, I expect, maybe a '59.
Is there any other place that the VIN appears? Or any other way of
determining the true VIN number or true year of manufacture?
Perhaps I should just leave well enough alone?
