HZ sandman ute

[Innuendo]

Thats the blue one
no such thing as after market tags

Of course there is, they are the ones fitted to this Ute.
I think you purchased OK (sort of). But I'm not sure why you didn't investigate beforehand?
Anyway, enjoy your ride. It's sure to turn heads.

do you think the roads &maritime services could confirm if original id tags were handed in?

Probably best to let sleeping dogs lay with that one. If they were handed in they would have been destroyed. If they weren't and you go asking then the relevant authority may wish to remove all numbers and issue you with new police numbers.
Finding out yes or no won't change anything. You have a nice ute, drive it and enjoy it. If you were going to do anything to it, then an injected 5L or even an LS1 would be in line with the modern looking tags. You know there was at least one other guy willing to pay the same as you did.
