About the Wartburg 311

Start by typing the VIN of your car Wartburg 311 into the box; the decoder reads the code and reports the maker, the model year and the country of origin. Production years of the car Wartburg 311 in our data: 1962 - 1967. Body styles: Sedan, Coupe. Power: 45 hp. Versions in our data: 2. A VIN tells you the maker, the model year and the country of manufacture. Where the plant is coded in the 11th character, that can be read as well.

The VIN identifies the car but does not describe its life. Records of accidents, mileage, theft or owners have to be looked up separately from the decoding. A quick test for the model Wartburg 311: the 10th character encodes the model year, so it should fit the year the seller states. Also remember that I, O and Q never occur in a genuine VIN.
