What is the VIN?

Supposedly, S3 became S4 about March '68 or somewhere there abouts.

My '68 S4 is 36/7988.

1968 36/7988

David,

VIN listed on the advert is 456555, so would be a pre-super safety S3 for USA.

When did the side marker lights appear on the S3 in the UK? I have a 1967 without them.

Apparently the buyer felt the work needed is more than he is willing to put into it. Looks pretty much rusted out. At least a new frame.

My Dec 67 S3 S/E has the side marker lights, toggle switches and 3 point seat belt attachments.
It was UK delivery, but LHD, so I suspect it was a US citizen on foreign assignment.

Ebay listing was ended early. I communicated with the owner, he decided to keep it and restore it. FYI only.
