Identification and decryption of a chassis plate

[MSH_V8]

Hello everyone,
How identify and decript a chassis plate on the NFGT ?

First letter is for the year: H for 2017, J for 2018, K for 2019. Exact ? And about 2020 to 2022 ?
But, how is the following number done ? For exemple, the yellow press car with the chassis H988 can't be the 988th car produced ?

Thanks for your answers !

As far as I know, cars are not built according to the consecutive chassis number. So it is quite possible for a car with a high chassis number to be produced before one with a low chassis number.

I also noticed the high chassis number on the press car. But I think they just wanted it completely separate from the customer cars.

If it’s not clear, you can DM me

L for 2020, M for 2021 and N for 2022. The number following the letter is just the VIN number for that year, not built in sequential order and have nothing to do with what number the car is relative to production numbers. McLaren also does a similar numbering system with their press cars. Super high chassis numbers to separate them as press/test cars.

For the yellow press car, the last 3 of the VIN are 988...

Well, I learned it on the fly when I was in the Bay Area for a 3 month stay .... So I'm never sure I'm using the right word at the right time
