Questions about riveted metal VIN plates


RH002AJ

Recommended Posts


Hello everyone.
I am restoring the letters on the VIN plate that have disappeared.

My cars are "BMW 2002 A", "AUTOMATIC", "right hand drive" and "VIN 2521276".

I posted an image of the plate with the closest VIN number on the right side.


【Q1】: Please tell me the display contents of "A". (← Is "A" added to "2002"?     “2002A”?)

【Q2】: What is the weight of "B", "C" and "D"?


I also welcome posting photos.
Thank you

That isn't going to be easy to find a Vin Plate for a 1972 right-hand drive Euro Automatic.  I tried searching for something for a US left hand drive Auto 2532127+ and came up empty, (they only made 1400+ in 1972).  I suspect that there could be weight differences between the US and EURO Automatics in 1972 with the brake systems being different, and other US market requirements.

 

Good luck,

@02Lesfor the win!  Just out of curiosity, would you have a Vin plate for 1972 BMW 2002 RHD Manual (1656317 - 1659138) to see if BMW accounted for the weight difference between the manual and automatic cars.

Apparently BMW did not think the weight difference was important
