1972 series 3 SWB petrol according to V5 and registered historic but closer inspection of vehicle makes me think it is actually a 1982 vehicle. No VIN on chassis. What are the implications?
 
If it's yours keep shtum...if vin plate matchs log book thats what counts...dont open a can of worms if you dont have too...what makes you think it's an 82?...
 
I would be mostly woried about the vin,without one the implication is that it is stolen,the parts are ok as they are deffo acceptable upgrades and do not affect the historic status,what does the mot history check show?,
Atb,ryn
 
There’s a VIN plate on bulkhead that matches the log book but no number on the chassis. The mot history stacks up although it hasn’t had one for a couple of years. I guess perhaps it’s just a bit of a Trigger’s broom.

I'd be getting some suitably thick paint or underseal to cover the number on the chassis if it were mine :eek:
 
You could always get a set of number punches and put the number on the chassis yourself . As long as it matches the one on the logbook ....then daub on the underseal !
 
Most are triggers brooms. Mine has parts off all sorts but is classed as an 88. Now that bit is correct.
 
I have checked several times. Have wire brushed but no sign of a number. Chassis in very good condition but no number. Doesn’t look like it’s been welded.
 
My series three has no number on the chassis leg and it doesn't look like its been welded either, when it was in the army they managed to lose the identification plate as well, so now, having been de-commissioned it has a 'Q' plate. Bloody nuisance... As others have said: don't open that can of worms, leave things as they are and count your lucky stars that you don't have a Q plate.
