Phew........this Green Monster is making me sweat a bit the last couple days at the SAPS Clearance Offices.
It was bought as a 416-117 originally, in 2010.
Then it got a new chassis in 2010, series 416-162.
Chassis Number on the 117 is on the right rear
Number on the 162 is on the right front.......UNLESS its an ex army Buffel, which this one appears to be, its Number is also on the right rear, same as the 117 series (which this is not).
Luckily I got all necessary Docs for proof of the above from my pal the previous owner.
The Guy that sold the Chassis in 2010 should have gotten a SAPS Clearance BUT HE WAS TOO DAMN LAZY.........and its a very well known Mog " Specialist".
So.......Guys, (not only Mog owners......basically EVERYONE).......make sure your chassis number ON the vehicle and Natis chassis number are the same. Dont assume it is - physically go and CHECK it.
This small miniscule detail could ruin a whole holiday, and they WILL impound your car.
If this particular car was to be stopped and inspected at any roadblock or border post........EINA.
But eish..........karre smous is soms NIE maklik nie
