All road vehicles manufactured since 1977 possess a unique Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). The VIN comprises 17 characters: the first 3 (or in some cases 6 letters) denote the World Manufacturers Identifier (WMI) i.e. the company which built the vehicle, and the remaining characters are specific to each vehicle manufactured (make, model, year and place of manufacture etc.).

 

In Italy codes start with the letter Z  and here are some examples:

WMI Manufacturer WMI Manufacturer
 
ZAM Maserati ZAR Alfa Romeo
ZAR Fiat ZA9 A12 Lamborghini
ZBB Bertone ZC2 Maserati/Chrysler
ZDM Ducati ZFA Alfa Romeo
ZFA Fiat ZFF Ferrari
ZGU Moto Guzzi ZHU Husqvarna
ZLA Lancia

P.S. : A lot of this information comes direct and indirect from '80 years of Moto Guzzi Motorcycles' by Mario Colombo, the Moto Guzzi Bible. (A birthday gift from my wife Marga).

* Between 1954 and 1972 a new set of criteria was used to identify frames: in place of the numerical progression using Arabic numerals the makers began using a code formed by one or two letters, two numbers and two letters. The first letter or group of letters identifies the vehicle type and, especially at the beginning of the series, this was often an abbreviation for the commercial name of the motorcycle. For example : L = Lodola. FS = Falcone Sport. The combination of the numbers and the letters of the second and third group form the serial number of the unit in question.

** Models bearing a serial number with the same prefix differ only as far as trim is concerned and belong to the same homologation batch.

Any inconsistencies between the dates shown in this list and those quoted in the text are due to the time lapses between the manufacture and the actual launch of the various models.
