Hi guys I'm buying a 4 door LJ, I'm wondering if anyone knows how to read these body numbers. Any help would be appreciated.

Sorry that links only for LH/X-UC

B is for manufactured in Brisbane, doesn't have a VIN I'm guessing?

Hi thanks, yeh he says he has all 3 tags taped to a piece of cardboard, still trying to find them in and the parts boxes. I just wanted to see what I could find out. The car is in Brisbane .

Not familiar with LC/LJ's. Don't think that is the body number? Should be a five digit number that starts with 82***.

Hi

That is the Chassis Number - it tells us nothing except it is Brisbane built around Jan 1972. The tags will identify it correctly.

Is it still able to be registered if he doesn't find the 3 tags?

Mark

As far as I know, all state motor registration authorities go by the stamped chassis number. I would be best to check with them first.

The authorities don't give a rodent's rectum about the VIN & Body plates, they only contain internal information relevant to GMH.

I'm unsure about other states (I think they're mostly all the same) but in NSW you can register a vehicle without a compliance plate so long as that vehicle was manufactured in Australia and you can prove it has been previously registered with the same chassis number (ie. it was compliant at some stage).

What if you have no proof of it being previously registered?

I'm not sure? I'd be surprised if they couldn't find the chassis number on their computer system, unless the car hasn't been registered (or looked at by the police) at all in the last 30-odd years since they went electronic?

I'd guess that in a worst case scenario you could have an engineer re-certify that the car meets the ADRs from the manufacture date?

Ok. So it seems like there could be multiple options depending on the situation. Thanks for your reply.

My car hadn't been rego'd since 2001, QLD DOT had the details on file in 2013.

Yeah it's not the end of the world, privately imported cars get certified all the time and they were never even subject to Aussie Design Rules.

I'd try and bluff your way through the inspection first off, they'll either pass it or tell you what you need to do. The biggest stumbling block will be to determine the original compliance plate date?
