It should come up with something, even if it is just basics like powertrain configuration and colour. FOr examply my XG ute gets a return on ETIS, basic info but its there.

PLEASE DON"T BE ALARMED - I MAY BE WRONG!!!
I believe that it is 'surrogate' VIN number. This could mean two things the part where the chassis?VIN number was/is, was replaced or something happened to the vehicle requiring it to be given another chassis/VIN number. |

That's not a VIN number. A VIN has 17 letters and numbers.

What is the engine number? Has the engine number got 0055 as the numbers? If you add 6FPAAAJG = the engine number this equals the VIN SY is the build date - S=1995 Y=June For a sedan it is - SW For a wagon it is - WA For a Fairlane or Ltd it is - LW For a Ute or Panel Van is - CM I would predict your VIN number is 6FPAAA SY-0050 6FPAAAJGLWSY-0050 but your missing a number where the dash is Ok just checked the 10 vic numbers above with filling in the dash with 0 - 9 and nothing what is your engine number? Also you can find the VIN on any panel of the car - they are all stamped - is it the same? Doors, Boot, Bonnet etc etc

I think it's funny you say 'number' twice!

Exactly - it's a VIN, or a Vehicle Identification Number. It's not a VIN number.
Yeah, being pedantic, I know. |

My NB Fairlane isn't there either 6FPAAAJG63KR31*** I have numbers for the ***. I guess being a prototype unofficial model I shouldn't be shocked.

The ETIS site isn't working at the moment so I tried a different site that was meant to search aussie VINs. It tells me that the XH XR6 ute that I just bought is actually a ford meteor from the US. lol
