Truimphiles,
I am resurrecting a 73 Spitfire, one I originally owned many moons
ago. It is in horrible condition. I purchased the vehicle and
accepted a bill of sale with title to come later. Later never came
and the lead has dried up. Some cash was withheld but obviously not
enough to incentivize. I have DOT searched the title which leads back
to a used car dealer. This lead has dried up as well and the state
requires his signature on a duplicate title to process further. I
have mentally and physically written off this search. I have a
second title of a near and dear 69 Spit I scrapped out years ago.
It is in my name and dear to me.
Question. the VIN is FDUxxxxxU. Can someone explain the first "U".
None of my Triumph books indicate the existence of the first "U", but
then they mainly address UK commission numbers. BTW, what does
the second "U" mean? All help appreciated. Mark
