Great piece of work by Tom with assistance from a very interested group of forum members

There’s a lot of info on this thread, but am I missing a reason why the 214 SEi is missing?

While I've been further comparing the V5 declared model with the model I've decoded from the VIN I've spotted a few other missing models that I need to work out how to decode. Chiefly the SEI and Sprint models don't feature in the decoding tables anywhere that I've found so that will be my next mystery to solve. There were also "SE" variantes of the coupe which it would be interesting to see if I can decode that from the VIN or not too because it doesnt feature explicitly in the lists published in the various EPC sources.

The SEi and Sprint were effectively limited edition (added value) models based on the 214 Si, so I suspect they did not get a unique VIN identifier.

My 214 Si 3 door is taxed at moment J335 NCW if you want more to check and see if it's missing or not

I’ll have to look at the car’s code tomorrow and try and decipher it!

Initial inspection if these particular models in the data would suggest that is the case.

It is. There never was any specific VIN coding for the SEi, and the trim levels in the VIN coding do not reflect the various combinations or limited editions that have been sold either at home or abroad. For instance, in France, we had the "Sutton" limited edition, based on the 214Si. We also had the "Privilege" one. The so-called "Special Edition" 216 and 214 cabs, the "SE" in two different model years, in addition to the SEi, the "Woodside" limited edition...the list is potentially endless.

I know my 214 si is one of the untaxed ones

Any news on the 220 gsi yet?
