Yes and no deformation bar ,different bumpers .different rear lights ,the list goes on.
At least the roofs right

 

i saw a thread about the van somewhere else may have been on here if you read the ad he says its the early chassis with a late shell on it but i doubt anyone would go to that much hassle

 

"Post 1973 body with £1970 chassis retaining original number to make Tax Exempt."

Yeah - I bet!

 

the ad says Full restoration with photographs email him and ask if you could see some of the chassis change i bet he cant find them

 

I wonder if she was hoodwinked by a bodyshop that chucked her 1970 bus instead of restoring it and bunged her furniture in a good late shell, swapped the chassis number over, then charged her £15K and said they'd restored it like that because "you can't get the early parts". lol shouldn't laugh...
Agreed - 72-73 model.

 

Sounds like a log book transplant!

 

Should ask for photos of the welding where the chassis number has been swapped

 

I've asked for some "before" photos.
Someone has had the wool pulled at some point.

 

I have ze before pics and the rennovation was mild. It was a 72-73 before hand too, same bus, same colour, same age as it looks now but with matt paint and a few dings. It looks a nice bus. I'd say 73 because it has a hatch above the engine and earlier even with 1700 engines, don't.
I will email back and politely say something similar, but I don't think it's the seller who has renumbered it.

 

So it's a 73 or they wouldn't have bothered switching chassis numbers.

 

isn't a bay classed as a monocoque ?

i know it has a chassis but it's welded to the rest of the body

there for the whole body must be used to keep the id

 

a 1970 Bay is a full-blooded early, so the chassis number wouldn't even be in the same place or shape, nor would most of the engine bay where it is stamped.

Is it not legal to switch numbers? It's been done a lot around this part of Europe, but no one seems to be worried since they are old cars anyway.

 

Yes, Sven, it is illegal in the UK, as it is tampering with the identity of the vehicle.

Where it has been done to make a vehicle eligible for historic vehicle status (tax free) it is also tax evasion. Where a vehicle is sold on under the new identity by someone who did know or had reasonable grounds to believe the identity has been tampered with, I believe it's also fraud.

 

RINGER!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

The real issue is the pink container behind the passenger seat ,look at another picture and it has disappeared, vanished into thin air...

read the numberplate backwards...
