I checked some but it is impossible to tell the mfg. date since the
registrations only show the date first sold. The earlier Comuta-cars
used a numbering system similar to the Citicar. My older Comuta-car
is 911SR276A. My later Comuta-car is 1111B1C22AS00329. I believe the
last four digits are the production sequence so that is the best way
to tell the relative age. So yours is #860 and mine is #329. I
checked another that is #593. The last four digits are also stamped
on the frame rail behind the right rear tire (11 o'clock position).
The date first sold on every Comuta-car I've seen is either 1979 or
1980.

Hi Don,
I don't know how to decode the VIN either, but I have a 1981
(according
to the title) Comuta-Car with VIN 1111B1C20BS000860. Perhaps if
you
can get a few more samples a pattern will emerge.
Good Luck,
Tim
Hi to all, and Happy New Year.
December was a quiet month for the C-group must have been the cold
weather. Even in Florida very cold for our thin blood. It's been a
nice week end I just finished recovering my bench seat. Even with
four of these cars I don't have one good set of seats. Now I have
something comfortable to sit on while I'm trying to unravel the
wiring mess under the dash. The main reason for this message is to
find out if anyone out there knows how to tell what year a
Comutacar
was manufactured. I don't have Titles for any of these cars. They
all
have VIN numbers, and was wondering is it encoded in the VIN #????
Will have some pictures to send soon. Thanks for any help.
