Evening all. The business of the model number intrigues me because I see reference to the numbers, Ronnie the Renault is a model 1123, but I can find no explanation about what a 1120 or a 1123 etc means . Is anyone able to explain, or tell me where I can get more info on what all the numbers on the various plates mean. Thanks in breathless anticipation. Edwin

Thanks for that. I have had a look at the list but can't correlate it to my car.
View attachment 22129 These are the plates on my car. Can you interpret them for me please.

Thank you for that. What are the the other numbers for.
The VF no is112302, so what does the 02 mean.
Version- A. As its an 85 car, I would not have expected it to be version A
FO 072376
and the other numbers on the oval plate.

Just seen your wiki web site which is very interesting and helpful. Thank you.
Oval Plate : "R1123" means 845cc. Don't know the significance of "02" if any.
J 03 etc. is the individual vehicle number. R1123s got up to about two and a half million (numbered sequentially) and then a new sequence began in 1985 starting with J 000001 or G 000001. By 1986 they had got up to J043166 so that confirms that yours is 1985.
The "000" at the bottom is mysterious. On mine (whose J number is only a few numbers away from yours) the bottom line reads "355" which is the paint code.
Square plate : the number beginning "F" is the chassis number. You'll find this (plus the top line) stamped on the upper surface right-hand front door sill. The other figures are permitted train weights with and without trailer. Don't know about "Version A" : probably something to do with the design of the plate itself.
The important numbers for ordering spare parts are the J number and the full chassis number.
