Shouldn’t the vin number match the body number??

[Bigfella237]

Correct, 457382M is roughly a year later than 449022M

 

That VIN tag has quite obviously had the engine & model codes obscured deliberately.

[bullitA9X]

If it was genuine the 449022 would be the body number aswell that’s what I thought thanks bigfella237

Mmm there no good for your replica mate
hope you didnt pay to much ✌

[Bigfella237]

449022M should belong to a September '74 complianced LH if that helps, chassis number somewhere around ALH0198xxM

Maybe someone inform Ben

[Bigfella237]

HHS can only verify the details they are given, the reason I asked for the link is because I was hoping to see a scan of the HHS report.

Yep understand that’ mate so surely if they had alll the numbers they would see the vin tag does not belong to that car???

I'm betting the person requesting the HHS Certificate fibbed.

[lx308]

You should be able to tell from the HHS certificate? Wouldn't the report have the full vin & also body number on it?

[bullitA9X]

I always thought that HHS had to have all the 3 tag details so I’m stumped as to how it’s come back as legit??

Yes the report will have all the numbers, however the Vendor hasn't posted a pic of the HHS Certificate.

I will see if My mate can get a copy of the report from whoever has it

No. The VIN tag photo isn't listed in the advert either

Correct but as far as I know pictures of the tags are not mandatory so it would be easy provide false info. I might be wrong so I will again ask Ben the requirements for providing the info on a vehicle.

Just the state of that VIN tag would make you run a mile wouldn’t it....?

[Bigfella237]

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
