Im looking at a bus i believe to be between 64-67. I am not very familiar with type 2's as of now but I am working on it. I am confused about the numbers on the plate behind the passenger seat. These are the numbers in the order i saw them:

20D

425 025 114 130

UK 2412 121872 7074920

I cant find the damn Vin number in the engine compartment. (At least that is where it is at from what i am told.) I did a search and still couldnt figure this out. (maybe I am looking at this all wrong.
Basically I am wondering what these numbers mean. And where is the VIN number in the engine compartment. From what i can tell the bus is a Deluxe (The trim and clock are there) and the numbers say so also i think. ANy help on this will be greatly appreciated. also i will post pictures of the bus and the bad rust spots so maybe someone can let me know how much is too much to pay for it. That will be done when I get home. Damn computer here wont let me put the pics on the computer. Thanks for the help.

Thanks for the info. I took a look and found the UK means United States Reserve. I dont know what that means. Now where is the VIN number located?

VIN plate should be located on the right side of the engine compartment where all the wires enter the compartment...
