Chassis number/VIN locations - en



Chassis number/VIN locationsChassis numbers were used for motor cars produced between 1955 and 1980. A chassis number comprises of a combination of between 4 and 10 letters and numbers.From 1980 the internationally defined 17 character VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) was used.Bentley S series/Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud and derivatives 1955 – 1965Chassis number locationOn a plate attached to the engine compartment bulkhead.Chassis number explanationAll left-hand drive Silver Cloud and Bentley S long wheelbase models have the prefix L added to the chassis number.Standard wheelbase and Continental S series models use L following the serial number of the chassis number to designate left-hand drive.Models were produced in series, A, B, C etc. A given series may have two serial number ranges, e.g. early A series using even numbers in increments of two, followed by later A series using odd numbers in increments of two. Thus for example, Bentley S, A-Series B1AP was actually produced after A-Series B500AN. The serial number 13 is not used.Long wheelbase and Continental S models other than S3/Silver Cloud III based cars use consecutive serial numbers rather than increments of two.Bentley S/Silver CloudModelWheelbaseSeriesSerial number StartSerial number EndNumber producedSSWBAB2ANB500AN250SSWBAB1APB501AP250SSWBBB2BAB250BA125SSWBBB1BCB251BC125SSWBCB2CKB500CK250SSWBCB1CMB501CM250SSWBDB2DBB350DB175SSWBDB1DEB351DE175SSWBEB2EGB650EG325SSWBEB1EKB651EK325SSWBFB2FAB650FA325SSWBFB1FDB651FD325SSWBGB1GDB125GD62SSWBGB2GCB126GC63SSWBHB1HBB45HB22SSWBHB2HAB50HA25SLWBAALB1ALB3635SContinentalABC1AFBC101AF101SContinentalBBC1BGBC101BG100SContinentalCBC1CHBC51CH50SContinentalDBC1DJBC51DJ50SContinentalEBC1ELBC51EL50SContinentalFBC1FMBC51FM50SContinentalGBC1GNBC31GN30Silver CloudSWBASWA2SWA250125Silver CloudSWBASXA1SXA251125Silver CloudSWBBSYB2SYB250125Silver CloudSWBBSZB1SZB251125Silver CloudSWBCSBC2SBC15075Silver CloudSWBCSCC1SCC15175Silver CloudSWBDSDD2SDD450225Silver CloudSWBDSED1SED451225Silver CloudSWBESFE1SFE501250Silver CloudSWBESGE2SGE500250Silver CloudSWBFSHF1SHF251125Silver CloudSWBFSJF2SJF250125Silver CloudSWBGSKG1SKG12562Silver CloudSWBGSLG2SLG12663Silver CloudSWBHSMH1SMH265132Silver CloudSWBHSNH2SNH262131Silver CloudLWBAALC1ALC2625Silver CloudLWBBBLC1BLC5150Silver CloudLWBCCLC1CLC4746Bentley S2/Silver Cloud IIModelWheelbaseSeriesSerial number StartSerial number EndNumber producedS2SWBAB1AAB325AA162S2SWBAB2AMB326AM163S2SWBBB1BRB501BR250S2SWBBB2BSB500BS250S2SWBCB1CTB445CT222S2SWBCB2CUB756CU378S2SWBDB1DVB501DV250S2SWBDB2DWB376DW188S2LWBALBA1LBA2625S2LWBBLBB1LBB3332S2ContinentalABC1ARBC151AR150S2ContinentalBBC1BYBC101BY100S2ContinentalCBC1CZBC139CZ138Silver Cloud IISWBASPA2SPA326163Silver Cloud IISWBASRA1SRA325162Silver Cloud IISWBBSTB2STB500250Silver Cloud IISWBBSVB1SVB501250Silver Cloud IISWBCSWC2SWC730365Silver Cloud IISWBCSXC1SXC671335Silver Cloud IISWBDSYD2SYD550275Silver Cloud IISWBDSZD1SZD551275Silver Cloud IISWBESAE1SAE685342Silver Cloud IILWBALCA1LCA7675Silver Cloud IILWBBLCB1LCB101100Silver Cloud IILWBCLCC1LCC101100Silver Cloud IILWBDLCD1LCD2524Bentley S3/Silver Cloud IIIModelWheelbaseSeriesSerial number StartSerial number EndNumber producedS3SWBAB2AVB26AV13S3SWBBnot issuednot issued-S3SWBCB2CNB828CN414S3SWBDB2DFB198DF99S3SWBEB2ECB530EC265S3SWBFB2FGB350FG175S3SWBGB2GJB200GJ100S3SWBHB2HNB400HN200S3SWBJB2JPB40JP20S3LWBABAL2BAL3015S3LWBBBBL2BBL126S3LWBCBCL2BCL2211S3ContinentalABC2XABC174XA87S3ContinentalBBC2XBBC100XB50S3ContinentalCBC2XCBC202XC101S3ContinentalDBC2XDBC28XD14S3ContinentalEBC2XEBC88XE60Silver Cloud IIISWBASAZ1SAZ6130Silver Cloud IIISWBBnot issuednot issued-Silver Cloud IIISWBCSCX1SCX877438Silver Cloud IIISWBDSDW1SDW601300Silver Cloud IIISWBESEV1SEV495247Silver Cloud IIISWBFSFU1SFU803401Silver Cloud IIISWBGSGT1SGT659329Silver Cloud IIISWBHSHS1SHS357178Silver Cloud IIISWBJSJR1SJR623311Silver Cloud IIISWBKSKP1SKP423211Silver Cloud IIILWBACAL1CAL8341Silver Cloud IIILWBBCBL1CBL6130Silver Cloud IIILWBCCCL1CCL10150Silver Cloud IIILWBDCDL1CDL9547Silver Cloud IIILWBECEL1CEL10552Silver Cloud IIILWBFCFL1CFL4120Silver Cloud IIILWBGCGL1CGL2914Silver Cloud IIICoachbuilt1st series included in SWB with 'C' after chassis numberSilver Cloud IIICoachbuiltBCSC1BCSC141B70Silver Cloud IIICoachbuiltCCSC1CCSC83C41Bentley T series/Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow and derivatives 1965 – 1980Chassis number locationThe chassis number can be found in a number of locations on the vehicle depending on it’s year of manufacture and build country.
