Is it possible for a 1993 import TT LWB to have seatbelts on the doors? Thought that year would make it a series 2 and have front belts mounted to the body?? Anyone got any views on this??

if i remember correctly they moved the seat belt from the door onto the pillar in 1994 this was one of the few changes made another one being electrical hicas rather than the old hydraulic system which yours will have

 

cheers

Pretty sure that would mean its a series 1. Best way to check the year is the label at the bottom of the seatbelt.

Although if I'm wrong I'm sure someone else will correct me.

Fair enough, so good having this website! What a wealth of knowledge......

Year of registration and year/model arent always the same thing.

And then the UK DVLA has dozens of 300s with wrong data on the log book.

F reg started at the end of 88 and carried on through into 89 mate.

fair enough was just confused because my dads is a 89 lwb on a g guess coz mines older thats why its got a different reg letter

It seems some cars sat around unregistered a fair while after production.

Exactly what Pete said.....

 

The registration letter and actual year of first use are a "grey" area on many J-spec cars.....:wink:
