California 30

It should be MY2013...not sure when the build date started but I think it was around June 2012.

 

Last month's answer was March 2012 build http://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/california/461302-what-year-did-30-come-out.html - there's also a really good thread about a year ago about the visual differences from when a guy got sold a non-30 thinking it was a 30 - found it http://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/california/434626-am-i-cheated.html esp post 12

 

This URL indicates that digit 4 of the VIN is the one that indicates engine type…

Yeah, it's best to use the VIN to identify a Cali30. If you also want to verify the MY here's what I have found from the pattern of California VINs*:

2014 ZFF65TJAnEnnnnnnn (Cali30)
2013 ZFF65TJAnDnnnnnnn (Cali30)
2012 ZFF65LJAnCnnnnnnn
2011 ZFF65LJAnBnnnnnnn
2010 ZFF65LJAnAnnnnnnn
2009 ZFFLJ65An9nnnnnnn or ZFFLJ65AX9nnnnnnn

*where n = a numeric digit.​

Essentially, the factory seems to have started with ZFFLJ65AX9... and ZFFLJ65AnX... in MY2009 and then flipped over to ZFF65LJAnA... where the A incremented alphabetically to B, C... through E, ending in 2014.

At least this is what the Cali VINs that I have seen would appear to imply - you should call the nearest Ferrari dealer to verify.
