VIN info required
Hi there,
yesterday Ewie & I helped another fellow SVXer (Gol) rescue another SVX from being crushed. It is a 1992 model with license plate number SK6003 (deregistered after being in a crash) It is a grey metallic with no sunroof, leather trim around the seat edges & similar armrest material on seat inserts - solid one piece fold-down rear seat. Visors are written in Japanese only - with Alycone on the rear light. Vented discs in all 4 corners. SO WE ALL ASSUME FULL JAPANESE IMPORT - all switches are in english?. One headlight is plastic & one is glass - neither have the fog/driving lights fitted, although this switch function is inside?. It does have power fold out heated side mirrors. Funny thing is that is has no NZ VIN number anywhere ???? it has been sitting around for approx 4 years (outside) - normally NZ VIN would be mounted on the driverside strut tower - opposite side to manufacturers plate. I only have service manuals for USA & the VIN ID chart does not help me.. This is the info from strut tower plate inside the engine area - (Japanese writing only here) = E-CXW VIN = CXW-002711 (same number also on the firewall) Applied Model = CXWA23E Option Code = BXC Trim Code = 220 Engine Type = EG33DDX1DE Color Code = 222 (grey metallic) Transmission Type = TZ102YL1AA Any info would be great. Thanks

Re: VIN info required
It sounds like it may have been imported to NZ after 2000 which means it would not meet the required frontal impact standards and therefore could not be registered.
The chassis number doesn't appear on my list of SVXs in New Zealand.

Re: VIN info required
Not sure exactly when the 17 digit VIN plates were introduced for used imports but it was around 1992 so it is possible it may have been imported before the new VIN plates were required?

Re: VIN info required
Something about the colour and the red pinstrip reminds me of a conversation we had with Carl and the former head of Subaru NZ we met (sorry, forgotten his name)... could this possibly the first one into NZ?? Could explain the lack of the NZTA VIN plate???
