gasgas249uk Posted October 24, 2011 Report Share Posted October 24, 2011 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dadof2 Posted October 25, 2011 Report Share Posted October 25, 2011 Beta UK did (and probably still do) have a list of chassis numbers on their website Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harryharls Posted May 14, 2020 Report Share Posted May 14, 2020 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 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
