Hi folks, it's been a while in the making.
Their were horrors along the way, like discovering that the
Argentinians stopped using JUMPBRAGCKDELYST in their months codes
after 1981 and went to something completely different.
But now you can download a program that will decode all NON-US Ford
VIN
numbers from the period January 1961-Dec 2009. Vehicles prior to
1965 have a different system of VIN code again, and I am

working on making it being able to read those as well. It was
intended to be 1965 - 2009, but there is that 5 years I can do

something about. I just to need to do some more coding. But anyway,
decoding VINs from Europe and Australia, South Africa,

Mexico, Argentina, Brazil, etc. between 1965 to 2009 is not bad.
Date codes for South Africa between the period 1979 and 1985 are
assumed as I have no details on any VINs from that period.

Free for you at,

I am still calling it the X-FILE at the moment, until I sort out the
pre 65 codes, So it is at the bottom of the page.

There are also some screen shots of the program working to look at.

If you downloaded the X-File previously, replace it with this.

I'd love some feedback on this, and any info on South African date
codes for 1978 to 1985

Cheers all, Kevin.
