The first 2 digits of the type number and the VIN are the same, but
the third digits may be different. There should be an alum plate in
the trunk with both stamped onto it.
The third digit of the VIN is the last digit of the model year of
production.
The third digit of the type number gives more specifics about the
body: RHD, LHD, sunroof, no sunroof, etc.
This is a continuing source of confusion.
