Hi G-uys,

is anybody familiar with old prototype/pre-production/pre-series Gs a.k.a. Haflingers 2 or H2s from 1978 and 1979 with 720 and 725 7-digit VINs?

What exactly is the difference between a 720xxxx and 725xxxx VIN?

Is for example 7200146 older than 7250110 or 720 means 2400mm wheelbase and 725 means 2850mm wheelbase?

Thx in advance.
