Why are some VIN tags on RS's embossed and others stamped?

I would want a surety bond put up by seller with a guarantee of authenticity these things scare me. too many fakes around and those id plates are all over the place, different type font, emboss, rivets etc..

and the most cataclysmic error of all.....wrong shell sticker

wrong shell sticker has to be at least a 25k ding

and the RS engine for sale in England for 30k euros doesn't even have a shell sticker...............what's the world coming too

I need to look at my RS book, but, if that's a early 'late' shell sticker it's appropriate... The factory switched from the early square 'yellow' sticker to the later 'white' rectangle in about March '73...

However....
If this is as late as #1446 it should have the later 'single bolt' fan clamp, that was also switched about March '73...
As was the early knurled fuse box knobs to the later wing nuts, which this car has.

Cheers,

I will stand corrected but I have always thought the change to winged nuts was earlier than March 73 and white shell stickers later than March 73. In fact I always thought the white sticker did not arrive until the very end of the model year production. Let me know what info. you have. Thanks

Wing nut replaced knurled screw in Jan '73 - RS#1446 was built in June '73.

I am no expert in RS, but i do know that the people selling the car are pretty straight forward, i just bought a car from them, and all checked out vey nice and where very straight about the wrongs things with the car. I would suspect hat this car is a real one, but like i said, no expert in RS,jaja.
