Definition

The CAPcode is a unique 20 character alpha-numeric code structure detailing vehicle characteristics for cars. Each CAP Code has a corresponding numeric CAP id. The CAPid is a unique vehicle identifier as a sequential number and is unique to the database only (car, lcv etc), so may be found in other databases.
