Do you have something special or unique about your car.

Ill start, my ITR DC2 UKDM is chassis number 1. Always a good talking point!

I'll get one!

It's actually engine number 4, chassis number 30, although it is likely Honda didn't start them at 1. The plaque inside says 00001

So your VIN is DC2-1100001? Or is your numbered plaque 0001?

My DC2 plaque was 2762, which didn't match the VIN number.

So if your plaque is 0001, it's just the numbered plaque the interior-assembly guy grabbed at random out of the plaque bin.
Granted. Plaque is 0001. Chassis number 30. Engine number 4.

Letter from Honda who confirm chassis and engine do not start at 1. It might not literally be the first in the true sense, but still pretty chuffed.

How can a UKDM car be chassis number 30 and engine number 4, when Honda built over 13,000 JDM models before the UKDM was launched here?


suspect because UKDM (which it is) has a unique prefix. I'll look later.
