Re: Stylus Quesion on LocostBuilders
Sorted!
It turns out the original Sylva chassis plate had been removed by flipper123 and was still sat in the back of his garage (!). I have checked the number from that with HPI and all checks out, and flipper123 is posting it to me along with the new V5 he has requested.
I have no idea why there is a SABTVR0XXXXXXXXXX vin on there as well, if its not mentioned on the V5 it may well fall off to avoid future confusion.
Yay!

Re: Stylus Quesion on LocostBuilders
Err- good point! Clearly the moral of this story is 1) don't remove chassis numbers from cars and 2) check them before you buy!
Thanks

Re: Stylus Quesion on LocostBuilders
Well the V5 turned up today, only 3 months and 28 days after the purchase date! Bizarrely it shows the SABTVR0 type VIN that has been present on the bulkhead all along, not the Sylva issue chassis number that comes up when checked on HPI/mytextcheck/etc! Somebody has cocked up somewhere, but I don't really care now, as at least some of the numbers match
