Hello and welcome!

"451" is your car's chassis code. The Fortwo has had three generations and thus, three chassis codes.

450 (first generation): 1998 - 2007
451: 2007 - 2014
453: 2014 -

Here in America the years run slightly different. The 451 ran from 2008 to 2015 for gasoline-powered cars and to 2016 for electric.

The 453 got a short run in America from 2016 to 2017 for gasoline and until 2019 for electric.

And sadly, we never officially got cars older than 2008.

"Passion" is your car's trim level.

For a 2008, there was Pure (base model), Passion, and Passion Cabriolet (convertible).

When getting parts from a dealership you should only need the year and maybe trim level depending on the part. The engine and drivetrain parts are the same regardless of the trim level.

The chassis code can help when you're getting parts from a place like eBay. It's also some nice nerdy stuff to know.

 

WOW !!! thank you so much. So glad I joined here... I'm taking notes...
