And terribly frowned upon! A lot of people around here would consider a car with a remade tag to be equivalent to no tag at all.

Definitely agree with that. Especially with the history of the car as per your other thread.

Wow didn't think it was that serious, but now that i think about it, it makes sense.
Would of thought GMH would of remade them if you could supply them with the old one.
Heres a picture of mine, its the only plate i have for the whole car.

Hi
Do you have the original engine number? We may be able to find the car's identity on the VIN disc.
Cheers

A mate of mine who was working over mainland went to a Car Museum,Lots of Great holdens there.
And the Original Machine that Stamped the I.D Plates for LJ's and HQ Holden Etc was at the Museum,Not sure if it was the Adelaide or Brisbane Stamping Machine,but Holden Donated it to the Museum.
Just some Trivia for thr Forum

Hi DaveONope, no numbers on the back in texter.

The number on the back of a Bris built ADR tag won't help ID your car as it will only be the the Body Number. The original engine number will help (if its listed on the VIN disc).

It was the Holden Museum in Euchuca Victoria,my mate was working at Bendigo at the mine there,he told me when he came back to live here,As its a Museum in Vic and Holden Donated it,it might be the Vin Stamping Machine from the Melbourne Plant. ??????????

Hi gtr-xu1
I am sorry if my post was interpreted as questioning what you are, or ar not, aware of. My intent was to merely clarify for DaveO, precisely what it was that may have been established had there been anything on the reverse side of the tag. Once again - sorry.

The engine is a Nasco replacement engine for a HQ or LJ, so it won't be on the records.
The stamping machine mentioned above is the only one. All tags were stamped at Fisherman's Bend and sent out to the plants each day.
