Should the same VIN appear throughout the car?
Facts:
VIN on Door Jam = US Market
VIN in Bonnet = "ZZZ" Grey Market
Apart from the "ZZZ," the VINs are the same.
Question:
Should the VIN numbers be the same or does the presence of the "ZZZ" VIN in the bonnet be cause for concern?
Also, the US Market VIN appears on, what I think is called the A pillar, where the front windshield meets the door frame.
Thanks in advance for your comments,
Rob

For some reason, the US-spec Carreras had ZZZ VIN's in the trunk compartment. I freaked out when I discovered this on my ex-'87, until I found out that this was the way they all were.

All the tubs were ZZZ until a delivery destination was determined. By the time the plate was put on, that had been decided, and the appropriate country code was added.
