Dodgy, dodgy, dodgy. Someone will get their fingers burnt. As Leroy says BODY and VIN plates belong together but on a 4/75 van with chassis number close to BHJ322xxA. My guess, being a HJ the 4/75 car was a column auto, and possibly the 8/75 car was a 253 3spd or column auto but is was a 2 seater. See what happens when you give shonks too much info? Current owner may well be the one who gets burnt as he is advertising it as a Sandman even if he didn't do the plate swapping (which he probably is innocent of). And why would you ruin a perfectly good HJ with HX stripes?
It is possible both sets of plates originated on Sandmans too!
