ferguzzi Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 Howdy all. I'm having issues trying to officially import my 1994 targa into the country from the UK. The local office tried to insist i should have a17 digit vin number, but my uk export certificate only has 2 letters and 5 numbers i.e. LT 12345. This is actually on the downtube of the bike, but then there is a "*", followed by 7 numbers. these 7 numbers aren't written anywhere on the paperwork, and when I contacted the UK licencing people, they insisted the only reference they had to the bike was the LT 12345 number. 2 questions come to mind. 1. when did guzzi start using 17 digits? 2. whats the relevence of the 7 numbers after the "*" ? ps, its always possible they started using the 17 digits in the US before elsewhere....

ferguzzi Posted April 24, 2015 Author Share Posted April 24, 2015 yep, it makes sense, I think. Still not sure what the numbers after the star are, as I'm pretty sure now that they don't relate to the VIN. Or maybe they do?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
