I ran across that a few years ago. That vin means it was created in a country not listed in the UN standards charts and probably was never intended for export from its orgin country. (note these charts are just a nonbinding agreement between most countries involved in the export of vehicles to multiple nations). The ZZZ means it is just filler code letters. The z in the zng part basically means the same thing. I suspect a 1992 south afrikan. South afrika is listed as a nonexporting vehicle producing nation. http://www.faqs.org/faqs/autos/vw/general-faq Is a good reading for the obscure. jimt On 10/16/05 1:09 PM, "Malcolm Stebbins" <mwstebbins@YAHOO.COM> wrote: > I'm looking at a European van that the owner says has a VIN of: > WV2zzz25zng002290 I've never seen or heard of a VIN with ZZZ?? > > there is no such possiblity of ZZZ on the vanagon.com info sheet at: > http://www.vanagon.com/info/vin/ > > Any ideas?
