Good day

I am ashamed of myself for not signing up for this forum sooner but here I am now.

I am am the owner of Crossfire KX53 SVJ, a 2003 sapphire silver automatic coupe, one of the first ever produced and was featured on Top Gear season 3 episode 9 as the studio show car during their infamous review. Then the same car was featured on CarThrottle in March 2018, driven by Alex Kersten.

To be honest I've no idea where to look for it so I'm not sure, I just know it's a very early car from September 2003

In the USA, it is on the door, on the dash looking in through the bottom of the windshield and on the certificate of ownership. Part of it is the build number. The tag on the door includes the build date.

According to the VIN it seems to be an October 03 car, from the first 500 produced, I’m no VIN expert but that narrows it down.

If you were a vin expert would you be called a sommelier?
