Yes sounding like a different chassis with a police number. ..
Would have been accident damage to chassis.

If everything else is Sandman and chassis has been replaced how does this effect value.
It no longer has its original identity so it’s not technically even a Sandman anymore. The chassis number is the cars identity.Originally Posted by Willo68
This old chestnut has come up a lot on here.
It’s possible it was stolen and recovered as well. The original number may have been tampered with. Are you absolutely certain it’s no longer there? I have heard of some chassis with the original number still there and the police number as well.
Massively. People wanting collectability wont be interested much at all. Its pretty much worth what a replica with original Sandman bits would be.
People arent paying big money for these things because of their Lotus inspired Handling or Rolls royce build quality. Theyre buying them in the hopes of making a few bucks when they go to sell them. Any little thing like this will put pwople off, or they’ll use it as a bargaining point npw in the hope that the next person wont.

New South Wales police numbers both engine and chassis typically start with "N" and end the number with "P".

Your correct. Memories are very unreliable, I could have sworn that tag had GMP&A on it. NASCO it is though.

Yes, was me who pointed that out for you when you posted that tag.
Here is another:

Just as the "N" was for NASCO on engine numbers
As you mentioned in this thread.

I've never seen the nasco compliance plates until you put that one up ...and never seen the nr on the engine number till the one I have in my hz .....
You can see why "if" you had the original body tag you would swap it over when your new body arrived.
Missing all the other details and confusing to authorities.
The chassis in question could be a NASCO replacement. What with the number on the passenger side and the number starting NREP.
This would leave room back on the drivers side for the original chassis number to be re-stamped and the opposite proving a replacement.
All possible. Still hurts it's resale value as a Sandman though unless you have all the paper work as proof and even then...

Yes it definitely would be not as desirable if the chassis did match the compliance plates .. but how bout the motor beginning with nr instead of qr ....
