Base-Model VH7S29-00439 D343B01562 YC X1 A66 A95 G60 H51 Z98 F026 (Fleet) F026 is sydney yard
fleet means it was sold to a company or was built for advertising or general sales room content
or most likley
the person who ordered it changed their mind and it started life as general stock in the stock yard for that state or area waiting for somone to order something similar so a dealer could palm off what was already built.
