the first 3 digits SCF are the World manufacturer identifier for UK Aston Martin.......
The 4th digit of the VIN is just the restraint system..........
e.g.............
Line 4 = restraint system
A – 2+2 seating. Front & side (in seats) airbags + 3-point ELR seatbelts with pyro-pretensioner for driver/ passenger (+ALR pass.) + rear seatbelts (ELR/ALR).
B – 2+0 as above but no rear seats/setbelts.
2010MY+ E -2+0 (as above) F - 2+2 (as above)
{Note: 13MY+ DB9 also has dual pretensioners/dual stage load limiters for the seat belts but code still E/F}
G - As E 2+0 but no side airbags in the seats if light weight seats are fitted.
H - (Rapide) 4-seater as 2+2 + side curtain in pass & drvr + both rear doors, pyro-pretension rear seatbelts.
K/L - Vanquish 2+0/2+2 adds dual pre-tensioners/dual stage load limiters + curtain side airbags in the cant rails.[/i]
I have just copied the VIN sequence from the VOSA webpage, but I assume the relevant part of the VIN will be the unique chassis number..... the series 14390-14614 at the end (last 5 digits) as the rest of the VIN will vary by model/country etc.
