Hi guys. I went and looked at an LH today, the owner swears it a genuine SLR 5000. He was honest with me and told me that it had been previously stolen.
So here's the deal.... He said that it was stolen & recovered back in 1985, the body number is missing from the car (near charcoal canister) and has been issued a new body number by the Victoria Police (stamped on passanger rail).
The 2 ID tags on the car are in poor condition and could appear to be off 2 different cars, skinny vin tag reads:8C69LHJ429383_? either a h,1 or 4 at the end, i can't read it.
The body tag says: 4/74, and ALH003__IN, again really hard to read! He had the original 308 in the shed but the engine number had been ground off from when it was stolen. There was a casting number on top of the block which was: 22F6. Car is Barbados Green, he apparently has pics of the car from back in 1985 from when it was stolen proving that this was the original colour.
Can anyone give me any sought of details from this small bit of info i have?
Are there any identifier's where i can check out on the body of the car itself?? Surely there is something on the body that can help prove if it is a genuine 5000 or not!
Let me know if there's anything i can provide. Many thanks in advance!
