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.

 

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:

 

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!

> Hello, 

> I inquired about this car about a week ago, but have not received a
response.  You advertise the VIN as HBJ8L25366, which is a Phase 1 BJ8
number, but the photo of the VIN plate shows it reads HBJ7L24221, and the
body plate above it reads 3160 BJ7 60118.  Both of these numbers obviously
belong to a BJ7, not a BJ8.  What is the explanation for these
discrepancies?
