The interesting thing to me is the "so what" attitude about plate =
switching.
Obviously when you're restoring a car you have to take the VIN tags off =
for blasting painting, etc.
However, the authorities (here in Canada anyway) take a very dim view of =
any VIN tag removal...it's a sort of "don't ask, don't tell " situation. =
So I'm surprised that a dealer would lightly say "oh well, we got the =
plates switched!"

Thought you Healeyphiles might enjoy this. This attitude might explain =
why there are so many BJ8s running around now that have lost their =
original identities and acquired new ones. People need to pay special =
attention to the correct identity of a car when they are considering =
buying it.
=20
A BJ8 was recently advertised by LBI, Ltd. as HBJ8L/25366 -- a Phase 1 =
VIN. However, both the VIN plate and the body plate are from a BJ7.
I inquired twice about the reason for the discrepancy, and this is the =
response. Note the last sentence:
=20
Hi Steve,
Yes, we noticed this as well and traced it back to a simple mistake. =
The tags to this car were put on another car and vice versa, everything =
has since been switched and corrected. We just need to take new photos. =
Minor issue, thankfully it's not an important car!=20
