Default FPV Vin decoding

G'day all. Soon to take delivery of an F6X Territory and thought I should probably confirm authenticity before handing over any cash. Is there a specific digit or two in the Vin that would identify it as FPV? Or will it simply come up as a Ford Territory? Cheers guys.

I've tried a couple of online decoders and they haven't been much help. One or two even tried to tell me the car was built in 1996, guessing they used the US system.

If you run the VIN through https://www.etis.ford.com, under Vehicle, it should show the build date and say it has a turbo motor and FPV suspension.

Hope that helps.
