1972-1980 VIN style

99762XXXXXX
This one is really simple.

The first two digits are the car series: 95, 96, 97, 99, 90 (for 900).

The next two digits are the last two digits of the model year: 72 = 1972, etc.

The fifth digit is the manufacturing plant:
• 1 = Trollhättan line #1
• 2 = Trollhättan line #2
• 3 = Arlöv, Sweden
• 5 = Arlöv, Sweden - 97 (Sonett) only
• 6 = Nystad, Finland
• 7 = Malines, Belgium
The 6th through 12th digits are the serial # of that model on that line.

1981-1983 VIN style

This marked the first year for the international 17 digit VIN code. It keeps all manufacturers on the same playing field, and you can identify make, model, and some equipment off of a VIN.
YS3AT34S2B1XXXXXX

The first three digits are the country and manufacturer code.
YS3 is used for cars made in Sweden
YK1 is used for cars made in Finland

The next digit is the car model.

The 8th digit is for Safety equipment
• A = Airbag
• P = Passive seat belts
• S = Active seat belts
Note: I doubt anything other than 'S' was used here, as Passives and Airbags were not introduced until after the VIN spec was changed.
The 9th digit is a check digit, which will be 0-9 or X. No meaning, other than to make sure it is a valid VIN.
The 10th digit is the Model Year.
• B = 1981
• C = 1982

Position 11 is the assembly plant or line
