Last year I picked up a more or less abandoned One Ten which I was going to use for spares but having looked it over at the weekend I'm now thinking of putting it on the road for a while..... The thing is though.....

.......as far as I was aware the One Ten was launched at the 1983 Geneva motor show which a quick Google reveals was held between the 3rd and the 13th March 1983..... The logbook for this One Ten says it was first registered on the 7th March 1983.

How do I work out how many One Tens had been down Lode Lane before my one? I'm hazarding a guess that it wasn't very many.....

What's your VIN

Should have mentioned that last night. I've tried vin decoders but they only seem to list the last six digits as a "serial number". The online decoders I've used don't seem to be any more specific than that. Can you find more information?

My VIN is SALLDHMH7AA187686

All I can really find out it is the approximate build date was January. Unfortunately the Series 3 was still being produced until 1985 (although I don't know if that was at Solihull) so I doubt you'll be able to use the serial number from the vin to narrow it down

Very much appreciated, both of you.

Would anyone like Dunsfold for example be able to shed any more light on this? What would a Heritage certificate tell me that we haven't already worked out?

Just to add some subject to this thread, I read last night that there are two 1982 Y Reg One Tens known to exist. They are both pre production and they are both in the Dunsfold collection.

Still interesting to know exactly when One Ten production began..... is mine pre production? Is it an early full scale production car? Is any of this even significant being as we know of two earlier ones anyway?

Have you got one of these

CWK 47Y - Pre-Production 110 - 1982

Hello All, I'm new to the group and have been looking at a 110 HCPU in red - Seems to be a 1982 since the 10th digit on the VIN is A. Can anyone find out what the VIN number is on CWK 47Y? I have a sneaking suspicion I've found it.

Well the 10th digit of my vin is also an A but I don't have the CWK number plate.... maybe it was changed...

Think I'll buy a heritage certificate and see what that shows up.
