Production Date?

I keep seeing people refer to week 31, etc. The sticker on my door say manufacture date 12/06. Is this the same as production date and if so, how do I relate that to week?

When you order a Mini you receive a VIN # and what production week that VIN number is scheduled for production. So unless you ordered your Mini it is rather diffacult to find the production week.

Thanks. I didn't order mine, I bought it off the lot, so I guess that production week is meaningless to me.

That would be an late 2006 production week as the production date is sometime in December of 2006. The stamp on my door says 06/07, mine was week 26, born on 6/26/07.

If you're curious as to the production date, the car has it stored in it. You know, in case you need to know what day to through a b-day party for your car!

See this thread for instructions on how to find it.

On Skeeter's memory, the date stored is the same as the slot for the booking date on the ship, which is way off.
