The first roll up windows Intermeccanica put in their Roadsters (conv.D) started with the first Roadster built.

The first Speedster with side windows, (not side curtins)is the car that Mart drives throughout Europe. The IM VIN for that car is 13333 and I think it was finished late 1999 or early 2000.

My car was built late 2001 and delivered early 2002, the IM VIN is 13356. Coincidentely, that is also the VIN that CA DMV is using on my SB100 registration.

Intermeccanica speedsters built in Vancouver all have IM VIN numbers starting with 13 and the Roadsters start with 14.

Dale, you're right, but something 'strange' happened. Some time before I went to Vancouver to meet Henry and Paula in January 2006 I had received a Statement of Origin of my car. I needed that for the SVA-test in the UK, the only and tough gateway to get an IM registered in Europe. When we spoke about chassisnumbers during our visit I told Paula that #14333 was on the Statement of Origin. She corrected me and said it had to be #13333. To be sure she looked it up in the files and confirmed #13333 was the number. She wrote it down on a yellow post-it note. Back at home I checked the document and...
I was right too. It said #14333. So the question is: am I driving around in the first roll up window Speedster or is it 'just' a Roadster with a wrong windscreen and seats?
I already had used the wrong number as a part of a new 17 digits(!!!) chassinumber the SVA had asked for. (IM 356 801 2100 14333). She's from the 21th of August 2000.
