350Z Roadster designation in vehicle identification number

[JurassicZ]

Is there anything in the VIN that shows the car as a roadster, for example is there a particular part of the number that designates the car as a roadster or coupe?

 

The V5 on my JDM has the car incorrectly listed as a coupe whereas all the Japansese export documentation shows it as a roadster, so I guess there was an error in the submitted documents to DVLA when the car was originally imported and i would like to correct this.

 

I don't really want to go through the process of getting engineers out if I can just point to the designation within the VIN.

Thanks

I looked in my old books and the VIN should start, JN1 for the coupe, and JN3 for the roadster.

Apparently..........

My stuff doesn't cover JDMs.

Mines a Roadster and it's JN1. Not a JDM.
