VIN# SYSTEM
Every model that roll out of our production lines is a specimen. Not a piece in a series — a specimen. The difference is not semantic: it is the reason the VIN system exists.
Drawing from the Vehicle Identification Number used in the automotive industry, TA71 has developed a proprietary 15-character code that permanently encodes everything that defines that specific model: country of production, production facility, type (slot car or static), scale, material, category, and position in the global progression of every model ever produced under the brand. The serial number never resets — not by category, not by scale, not by material. It advances. Always.
Every model that leaves production adds a number to the absolute manufacturing history of TA71. The first model carries serial 00001. Every subsequent model occupies its own unique position in the brand's history — regardless of when it was produced, from which material, in which category. A permanent, verifiable record.
A VIN is not a certificate of authenticity. It is proof that the model exists in TA71's production history — in precisely the place it should be.
