Selling my much loved but underused Caterham and am getting lots of requests from potential EU buyers about factory build and SVA.
Sadly I'm not 100% sure if was factory built, and not sure how to check.
I've been advised that if the 6th letter on the VIN is an F or an S then it's factory built.
Assuming this is correct then if F is Factory, what is S ? SVA ?
Sorry for the potentially dumb questions but I need to get back to the chap in France soon.
Also, be aware that I was emailed by a chap asking for the VIN and V5 serial number and V5 issue date.
BE AWARE that if you give this information to anyone, they can then apply for a replacement V5 and can then order replacement keys from any dealer...
I made the mistake of giving him the VIN and then twigged what he might have been doing.
I suggested he call me and surprise - no call..
Any help on the build appreciated.
