Interesting... I had selected a "W" for the year as this car was built in 1998:

071 - 1998, 61st car built, Historic Orange

However it seems the VIN was assigned in 1997 based on the "V" in the position for the year. I had suspected this could be the case and wonder how many others are like this...? I guess we will need photographic proof on most of the later cars in order to get the VINs right.

Anyway, thanks for the help Roger!
