Can we conclude from this letter that “these ten pre series vehicles still had the six digit VIN originally during initial production” refers to numbers 320-010 to 320-019?

I wonder what is meant by pre series?

[MarkH]

The letter also states that the chassis number should be stamped in the chassis. Anyone know where? Does it take the place of the VIN stamping, production number stamping or is it someplace else?

[sanders]

It is the production number stamp and it also appears on the vin/paint tag driver's door pillar.

[HughH]

From what i have seen the 320-xxx numbers appear stamped in different places in different cars, as well as on one car written in crayon on the dash

here are some pictures of different one (not all 1969 ones)

310-001S seems to have the stamps in all the places that normal vins are
320-011 1969 S #0002 an Ex Ferry Porsche car has it in crayon on the dash and on the paint badge but not in the front trunk stamping which is the 119300002 vin
320-012 (1969 E #0001) seems to have it in the dash but the front stamping is the 119200001 vin

Original Scheel seat which the R also had. Even mentioned in the post race write up evaluation. Some Scheel had rivets some didn’t, and I don’t know why. R’s and GTS used the same base from the photos.
