If the car is cheap enough and needs no money spent then just leave it and use it. But I wouldn’t spend any further money on it as it will always be devalued missing tags. Post up its numbers ie the VIN off the tag and it’s chassis number off the rail and it will be obvious if they are original together. If you have a photo of the missing tags I’ll be able to tell you if they were right for the remaining VIN tag too. |

Yes there are a few people in Australia that have no issues with stamping up these tags and it is a pity their relevant police forces do nothing to shut them down.

With these pre 1989 vehicles the registration authorities don't care about the Body ID Plate or the long skinny VIN Tag only the Compliance Plate.
