In light of the mileage poll I thought it’d be interesting to see who’s got the oldest around here. I bought my 03 in 2011 with 64k on the clock now at 105k with November 2002 production on the door jam sticker. Anyone have older?

I was going by date inside on the door jam sticker, would that be build date?

The build date is on a small black sticker in the engine bay on the inside of the nearside/passenger wing about 12 inches from the windscreen. :thumbsup:
Mine is May'03 :D

No, probably on the other side. It’s as clear as day when you find it.

No. That's the paint code. Is your car left hand drive ? Try the other side of the engine bay. :thumbsup:

It is LH drive. I’m wondering if it’s the one in the door jam I was thinking. No other stickers other than on inside top of bonnet showing emissions compliance and engine diagram. Might be different location requirements for US vs UK? At any rate here’s the one in the door jam I was talking about with 11/02

Sorry I didn't realise you were in the States. Yes I would say 11/02 looks fairly likely. That is an early one as that's when US sales began and March 2003 in Europe. :thumbsup:
