the chasiss plate, top line 744 M2 519305, your car is a 744 (740 4 door/sedan), M2 is the model year (M=1991) and factory (2=ghent, belgium), and 519305 is the chassis number.
the line under it is the international VIN (not the same as a US federal VIN)

4110 kg is the GVWR, the other two kg numbers are the GAW (gross axle weight) front and rear.

the right column.....
top line is 744=vehicle type, 88=engine (b230f), 22 = "standard of equipment"
2nd line 26130 2, is 2=sunroof, 6=AW gearbox, 1 = LHD, 30=market code, 2 = Girling Front brake, ATE rear
3rd line DC31A14, DC = 'spring support', 3 = 'stabilizer bar front', 1='shock absorbers rear', A=shocks rear, 1=stabilizer bar rear, 4=bump rubber
4th line -9 412, -9 = emission, 412 = interior fitting
5th line 601-21, paint code
6th line 3, steering gear=SZF



(sorry, no reference on what any of the codes mean)

Hi! I am a bit late to the conversation, but could you please share where you got all the info on the meaning of the codes on the right column? I can't seem to find anything online..
Thanks!

Well yeah but just like the 740's plate in this thread, it seems to have codes in a different order than others that I find on the internet (for example the upholstery code on the 4th line or exterior color on the 5th). Or am I just blind?
Cheers
