Thanks, but can you help me with decoding other part of the VIN. This VIN belongs to Tata Nano that I have been allotted. ( Waiting eagerly to have my hand on it!

At present i don't have any details about this car regarding variant/engine/color etc. If you can give us the details of this car it will be helpful for others too.

Trrk, Wildon.

Looks like the extra 2 is Ok, but something else was xtra.

Wildon,

My Nano's VIN is MAT 612222 9YN 13015. Please help me decipher. I am sure its a 2009 model. :(

Rajesh- Hope this isnt part of the fire incident batches!!
