Well ... someone has to ask them .. right? OK, so I am not a rocket scientist, but ... WHAT do the suffix letters mean on the Spitfire VIN numbers? e.g. FM00000U or UE or whatever it happens to be? A

The suffix letters equate to the following: U= Standard suffix for North American Market (Federal) cars O= Overdrive installed C= California Emissions There is no UE but there are HE suffixes on the

Sorry Joe... (for once the expert needs some info updating) According to three different sources I've run across, the E stands for Emissions equiped. (pre-California stds). IE: airpump, gulp valve, E

And? The point I was trying (apparently not very well) to make is there are no H or E suffixes on the commission number! The engine suffixes are a whole 'nother story! Joe -- "If you can't excel with

Paul, can you tell us offhand what those sources are? I don't doubt what they said, but I do question the accuracy of the information given. The "E" suffix has been used on ENGINE numbers dating bac

I have never seen an "E" in the Commission number, nor am I likely to here in the UK. However, the "E" in the Engine Number has nothing to do with US Emission Control equipment. ALL Standard-Triumph

[other good information snipped] Keep in mind that BpsL didn't always follow their own standards. I have an original 1973 Spitfire 1500 with overdrive that doesn't have the 'O' suffix. Doug Mitchell

Unless you bought it brand new from the dealer lot back in '73 and/or have a BMHT certificate saying what the config 'as assembled at the factory' was... I'd have a hard time believing the code was w

Are you absolutely sure it came from the factory that way? It may have been a dealer upgrade that would (of course) not have the Commission designation. Joe
