Thatīs a normal VIN for german T3s.
WV2 : VW
ZZZ: Empty, just to fill up
25: Type 2 (Vanagon)
Z: Empty, fill up
E: Year (84 or 85?)
H: Built in Hannover
064643: 64643rd Vanagon built in that year


The 3 "Z"īs are used in every VW/Audi in germany and the 4th "Z" also is a
filling digit.
In other states VW uses more Codes (describing engines etc), while in
Germany it is not necessary.


The VIN of my T3 is WV2ZZZ25ZNG000883
N: Model year 92
G: Built in Graz (the last 2WDs were built there)

Engine codes are not given in the VIN here in Germany.
