The first three characters of a VIN are the World Manufacturer Identifier (WMI). SCA is assigned to Rolls-Royce, built in United Kingdom (Europe). Any VIN that starts with SCA decodes to Rolls-Royce. The sample VINs below are checksum-valid and start with SCA.

|---|---|
| WMI | SCA (VIN positions 1–3) |
| Manufacturer | Rolls-Royce |

After the SCA WMI, positions 4–8 describe the model, body and engine; position 9 is the mod-11 check digit; position 10 is the model year; position 11 is the assembly plant; and positions 12–17 are the serial number. See the full 17-digit VIN format.
SCA is a Rolls-Royce WMI. Every VIN beginning with SCA was built by Rolls-Royce and decodes to that make.
The first character S places the manufacturer in United Kingdom (Europe region) under the VIN standard.
No. They are synthetically generated but checksum-valid and use the real SCA WMI, so a decoder returns Rolls-Royce. No real vehicle's VIN is used.
