Actually, that'll only work if the Exige models don't get added and if there are no other changes to the rest of the entries since the year/sn pair are only guaranteed unique if the rest of the items (except checkdigit) remain the same. For example, if they started building some Elise and Exige models for the US in Shah Alam as well as Hethel and have the a/c delete option all eight of the following would be 6/0027:
SCCPC111x6HL30027 which is the 27th 2006 Elise built at Hethel, AC
SCCPC111x6BL30027 which is the 27th 2006 Elise built at Shah Alam, AC
SCCPC111x6HL80027 which is the 27th 2006 Exige built at Hethel, AC
SCCPC111x6BL80027 which is the 27th 2006 Exige built at Shah Alam, AC
SCCPC111x6HA30027 which is the 27th 2006 Elise built at Hethel, No AC
SCCPC111x6BA30027 which is the 27th 2006 Elise built at Shah Alam, No AC
SCCPC111x6HA80027 which is the 27th 2006 Exige built at Hethel, No AC
SCCPC111x6BA80027 which is the 27th 2006 Exige built at Shah Alam, No AC
