Hey Everybody
I need some help. The guy I bought my Midget from has two AH Sprites and he doesn't know what year
they are so Im trying to find out for him. Iv already taken the identification numbers and tried
decoding them using the guide on this web site.
http://www.mgcars.org.uk/midgetspriteclub/sprite/spriteident.htm I know there Mark IVs but I cant
narrow down the year they were made. My Midget has a plate a the door jam that shows the m/y it was
made but these darn Sprites have nothing. Is there anywhere in the VIN, engine, or body #s that say
what year exactly the cars were made? I would appreciate any help. Below is my "attempt" to decode
the VIN and engine #s. Am I missing something?

U= USA & Canada 84968= Car number G= Assembled at Abingdon

12= 1200 to 1299cc C= Austin Healey Sprite / MG Midget D= donotes series
