Not Ranked
Hi Orskov #51 owner
I worked at Aurora Cars from about car # high 30's to about car #80 between 1981-1983 before they closed the doors the FIRST time.
I'm not sure where the confusion lies as the paperwork from the CA dealer should show "first titled" in 1984 and the Manufacturer Origin certificate would have been included also.
There is a 17 digit v.i.n on the vehicle correct?
The 10th digit indicates the year
IE:
A=1980
B=1981
C=1982
D=1983
In 1982 Playboy magazine did an article on the Aurora Car
I don't recall if the photoshoot was in California or Toronto?
But I can almost guarantee that car was at least #50 and that was in 1982.
I have tons of pictures somewhere of the shop and cars in process.
I've sold a boat and a truck before to Denmark so I know how bad the "Doody Taxes" are there.
If the 10th digit of the v.i.n is a "C" then it is clearly a 1982.
What is the 10th digit of your v.i.n please? (no need to list the full v.i.n# here)
If I can be of any further help please contact me.
PS there were NEVER 170 of these built the numbers took a jump.
