Who knows something about the 14 dgit VIN numbers? It's like the 17 digits without SAL in front. There was a story about the location of the Land Rover factory, I think. It is on a Series III from 1982.

Kind regards

79 onwards where the 17 digit VIN numbers, but there was a short time that they used a 14 digit VIN number. And I was looking why they used the 17 digit without the first three digits (SAL).


@UK_Akita
Did you test yout links? They don't give information about a 14 character VIN number.
 
according to my book 14 digits used LBAAH1AA100001 from nov 79 onwards,give us number apart from last 5 tell you what it is

Yes on the first link it tells you about the numbering, TBH i did not read it fully.

The other 2 link will let you put in your number and it will tell you about it. I put in my 14 digit numbers and it said it wanted 17 digits. I then just pul SAL infront and it came up with all the info, Looks about right for mine.
 
Ik think we don't understand each other, probably it me being Dutch.
I know everything about VIN numbers and how to explain de different characters. That is not my question.
I have here a 1982 Land Rover Series III with chassisnumber LBAetc This is on the VIN plate, on the V5 form and stamped in the chassis. Normally there should be SAL in front of this number. Why did Land Rover used these numbers without SAL for some time?

Above you said "according to your book" when referencing the 14-digit VIN...which book would that be? Any chance you could scan/email me some of that literature? I was in the process of doing some research on this myself when I came across this thread - figured it may save me some time.
