Vk vin numbers

[CalaisVKiller]

Can someone tell me the difference (Vkberlina) between the AVK prefix and the BVK at the start of the chassis no.

BVK is the 2nd run of VKs - first was AVK.....
this usually changes over when the ADR list on the plate is updated.
Then it's simply a sequential number out of the plant, and the A on the end is Elizabeth (Adelaide) South Oz.

Hope that helps mate.

I asked questions about my car, wrote all the info from the engine plates down, and got alot of information, all the prefixes are explained [thanks to maxim]. The thread is located: How to find detailed information specific to my VK Berlina?

You might get anything else you need

Simply when new the series 2 VK came out (1985) they started a new serial number BVK. Also when ADR rules change they change it accordingly as well
