At what point in 74 did the tags change from having the large rivets to the smaller sized ones?

[Bigfella237]

Small rivets are correct for this car. (But only by a month or so)

[hanra]

Yeah just had a flick through some tags and I spotted a 8-74 with little rivets. And a 6-74 with large rivets.

Thanks for all your input guys very much appreciated.....

From what I can gather the Chassis Number, Compliance Plate, Body Plate and Engine No all belong together, the damaged VIN plate seems to be the one out of sequence?

 

The shame of it is, it looks like someone has deliberately damaged a genuine SL/R VIN tag just to put it in this vehicle? It would have been so much better just to leave it off and say it was lost.

 

So I reckon the details provided to HHS for the report would have been:

 

Chassis No: ALH025476M

Complianced: 11/74

 

Engine No: HT27392 (I think... the photo isn't too clear)

 

VIN: 8D69TE J457382H

 

Body No: 457382M

Trim: 1890-19X (Mandarin Red with Black trim)

L31

M21

GU7

I have a reply from HHS and as suspected, no VIN tag details have been provided. Which does not matter in the scheme of things as the all the other numbers are correct for this car.

HHS issue the Production Certificate based upon the cars 'as built' state not how the car is now.

So you don't need to supply vin details to get a report?

I’m very confused here how can you get a report without vin number that makes absolutely no sense at all here is an slr/5000 report I’m pretty sure it’s the vin number provided that I can see

[hanra]

Thats mine. 

[bullitA9X]

Thats mine.

Sorry mate the pic was on google I can take it down if you want?? As suspected the vin wasn’t given to HHS so my mate tells me

All good. Pretty sure all my numbers for my car are totally out there. Which to an extent is a good thing, so that if someone tries to do a dodgy with my numbers I would hope some good people would know they are mine.

Yep that’s exactly what I think mate if your numbers are out there nobody else can ever use them.....

I did find a pic of my Body ID plate being used on a dodgy Gumtree ad for a about $5000.....  I guess the cubic centimetres were worth a dollar each? 

[Redslur]

Potentially a very nice car bar the tag discrepancy. Love Mandarin 5000's :-)

The body number is the same as the PSN and the model number on the body plate tells us the car is at least an SL/R therefore looking up the Warranty Service records would reveal the car to be a 5000 variant.

For all GMH vehicles that have the body number matching the PSN the PSN isn't needed to positively identify the vehicle if you have the Body Number and the Warranty Service Records.

 

The entire VIN number, with the exception of the engine size, can be accurately extrapolated from the info on the other two tags.

Thanks mate I thought HHS needed both vin and body numbers but anyway the dodgy vin tag is from a 6cyl slr thanks for your help mate...

The other VIN tag isn't dodgy and it belongs to another 5000. I can just make out the remnants of the T on the tag.

What I meant mate when I said dodgy was the tag that didn’t belong to the car.....

Sorry, misinterpretation. Be interesting if the 5000 the VIN tag belongs to still exists.

Yeah mate for sure..now that Ben has the vin tag numbers apparently the car the vin Belongs to and the car it’s on we’re both PR cars...

[S pack]

Oh dear, that's not looking good.

[Bigfella237]

Hmm... maybe the odd-one-out VIN tag did belong to that body shell after all?

[S pack]

I'm thinking front smash repair or a re-shell.

[hanra]

Whats your thinking there Dave?
