October 24, 201114 yr I'm think there might someone else asked about this end they were pointed to a web site. I'm sure John Lampkin the importer could help you , if you called or emailed him

May 14, 20206 yr I've just got myself (my son) a 2018 Beta 80 and also wanted to confirm the model year. I've done a bit of digging and found that it's the 10th digit in the VIN that designates the model year, in my case the 10th digit is a J which, thankfully for me, denotes it to be either a 1998 or 2018 so all good there. The model year codes are as follows: A – 1980 OR 2010 B – 1981 OR 2011 C – 1982 OR 2012 D – 1983 OR 2013 E – 1984 OR 2014 F – 1985 OR 2015 G – 1986 OR 2016 H – 1987 OR 2017 I – Not used, because it looks like a “1” J – 1988 or 2018 K – 1989 or 2019 L – 1990 or 2020 M – 1991 or 2021 N – 1992 or 2022 O – Not used. Neither zero or the letter “O” are used as the 10th digit, thou zero may be used elsewhere in the VIN. P – 1993 or 2023 Q – Not used since it light be confused with O or 0. R – 1994 or 2024 S – 1995 or 2025 T – 1996 or 2026 U – Not used in the tenth digit, but can be used elsewhere in the VIN. V – 1997 or 2027 W – 1998 or 2028 X – 1999 or 2029 Y – 2000 or 2030 1 – 2001 or 2031 2 – 2002 (or 2032, etc...) 3 – 2003 4 – 2004 5 – 2005 6 – 2006 7 – 2007 8 – 2008 9 – 2009
