Production start and VIN numbers

[griffrhysjones]

Does anyone know the official production start date? I believe mine to be an early one as it is registered at the begining of April 92, searched the forums for info on vin numbers and someone mentioned its the last three numbers that tell you what number the car is, this doesn't make much sense as my last three are 807, and there wasn't that many pre cats made! Thanks in advance, Simon.
