RE: [doc] What Vin did the double key system stop?

["Claire Usher" <claire.usher@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hmm, I'll have a look at that James, I must admit when we first got the car
and had the headliners off we were more interested in the 'cave paintings'
then any key numbers.

AFAIK (going by bills and receipts we got with the car) Flopsy has never had
her locks changed - and the fact that the same key fits all 4 locks I would
have thought would have backed that up.  Also, her key is a proper DMC
embossed one (not the fat type with the light), rather then a blank
reproduction one.

Dave's latest project car (not a DeLorean btw) has got several keys as it
had either the door locks or ignition lock changed at some point plus there
is the tell-tale screwdriver damage in the drivers door lock.

Regards,

According to the factory service bulletin:

http://www.dmcnews.com/bulletins/PI-02-12.81.html

The locks changed at VIN 4188, and judging from the VIN Chronology:

http://www.dmcnews.com/faq/img/news/n_vinlst.pdf

that would have been in late September 1981. I would imagine that at
some point in it's past, Claire's car has had it locks changed. One
way to know for sure would be to check under the headliners for the
keycode. Early style (two-key cars) lock key codes are WR3XXX or
WR5XXX numbers, later style (one key cars) key code are K7XXX.
