Production Number

[TexasLowell]

I understand that there were 1900 TC's produced in 1990. I see people say that their car is #XXX produced that year. How do you tell what number your car was for a given year? Also, is there a place where I can find a build sheet on my car?

Thanks,

Lowell

Some people go by the numbered plaque that is on the dash of some TC's but that is not accurate. The plaques were numbered in order that the dealers sent in the request to make the plaque. The VIN is closer but still not to be trusted, some TC's were probably manufactured out of VIN order to match dealer orders but the VINs were probably assigned before production so that order is probably off by a few numbers.

There were 7,301 produced in total, of that number 501 were produced with twin-cam 16V head.
In 1989 there were 3764 produced, in 1990 -1900 and in 1991 -1637.
The serial numbers did not run continuous from one year to another. I did see somewhere the production number ranges for each year, but I don't remember where. I think it may have been posted by another member. Maybe someone else still has the numbers and will post again, But I think if you search you will probably find them.

There is some more data you may want- search for "Production figures for year and colour" in December 18, 2008 on this thread.
