Database update

[HK1837]

^^As above. You don't need the chassis number off the rail, the one on the ADR plate is the important one. The one on the rail is only important to the current identity and value of the car, not to its original identity (which is what is historically important).

Mauser, HX was the last Belmont. HQ just had the last Belmont ute or van.

haha ok, I did say commercial later. :-)

What would be nice is to help people who ask to verify a wreck in a paddock that the plates match the chassis if, as we agree, the chassis not origional makes the thing less desirable. Possibly this also occurs with the engine as well. A person may not think to keep or spend more on a block than just replace it with another from ebay. True matching number vehicles are so rare that a few pointers may influence what people decide to do with the restoration to retain its origionallity. Although I knew the chassis mattered, on a restoration I wouldnt of hesitated to ditch the 308 and grab a non-60thou one without that being pointed out to me.

Blocker could make a form on here that people could download and fill-in with the information you require without having to tediously explain what you need over-and-over again. I realise you dont want the ADR info etc but others wouldnt. If it is simple to do maybe more people would submit thier vehicle details to you to make a more comprehesive register. We want those ute boys to pump some more info into the Sandman database..haha
