The mustard cars tag is not like one I have seen before with cut round edges and poor letter/numbers.
I'd say the green car tags are reproduction, nice and new with incorrect rivets. The mustard cars tags have original rivets and have been poorly masked when the car was repainted hence the odd looking shape.
You would have to be a complete idiot to copy the vin number of an existing car. Re-registering a car that has been out of ergo for a long period is easy.... You present the car for registration with roadworthy certificate and as long as the search they do on the chassis number and engine comes up clean your car gets registered.
All those other tag details including the vin number were not recorded until 1988 and even then it is only the vin and engine number.
When they record the colour of your car they don't look at the trim code ...... They look at the cars exterior and write what they see.
Both of those LJ Toranas are probably registered legally as they have different engine and chassis numbers which is all that is recorded by the RTA. Having the same vin means someone is trying to pass one of them off as an XU1. All that means is buyer beware if you are paying big bucks for collector car.

I'm sorry but I'm with [MENTION=3]wbute[/MENTION] here. Why tempt fate!! I know that it may never happen and why would they pick me, but I like a bit of anonymity. Not everyone's a friendly, honest, country person!!:shifty:

when I went down to the RTA in Jan to register the Yellow van, I had a blue slip, and an old victorian rego paper, (we never bothered to transfer the vic rego, just let it run out, and made sure we didnt get any fines through speed cameras) as we knew it would be stripped and in a shed for most of the time. Anyway they had no problem with anything until they looked at the engine number, they said where did the motor come from, I told him we had built it from scratch, so I then had to have some sort of proof of purchase of the block, and all the parts which went in it....all we had to have was a proof of purchase of the block and it was okay. (we got a stat declaration for this)
So bear in mind if you buy a block from a clearing sale, or old matey from a farm (which we did) have a receipt of some sort..
cheers

Yeah yeah I know Jen, but you would come under the friendly country person category (I think?!?)

There is a big difference between personal security (sharing personal information) on the net and showing photos of ID plates.
I was asking the Q about uploading plate info rather than sharing your address, real name or other personal info.
For example I know a number of peoples ID plate info that have shared it here.. but I have no idea of their names or addresses. That data is not available on this website (hidden or public) unless you put it up here.
Surely it's a bigger risk driving on the road and having someone follow you home?

Looking at the two Torana tags definetly a repro tag . Is it the same car painted a different colour ? As irrelevant of tag details both cars are Brisbane built.
