need4speed Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 nice 100" for sale on flea-bay at the mo.. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/LAND-ROVER-DEFENDER-...86.c0.m14.l1318 How exactly do you go about achieving the short rear overhang? And i take it its cut-down 110 bodywork? Ive seen other 100" trucks but they seem to have a standard rear overhang... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gibbon Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 Its all a matter of choice really, but yea all starts from a 110 rear tub. There was a rare 100 inch CSW hybrid on ebay a short while back as well with small rear doors that was interesting.....! After owning two hybrids, i'm not a fan of them anymore and run 90's, so no more issues with the DVLA..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

suggs Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 that belongs to a mate of mine, its superb looks like new in every way, its a Disco chassis with a cut down 110 body. he made such a superb job of it it looks like a factory built car..

dave88sw Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 i'd be a bit wary of it though, its on an h plate yet it says that its on a 1998 disco chassis and running gear, i would have thought if the builder had been absolutely honest to the dvla and told them exactly what bits were from what vehicle, it would be on the disco reg or a q plate? chassis, engine, axles alone should be enough to retain original identity Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's using disco chassis engine gbox axles in the eyes of dvla it's a disco. looks like the chassis's been bobbed at the back too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FridgeFreezer Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 Seems to be a lot of this about at the moment, everyone here seems to be SVA-savvy (give or take) but I wonder how many people out there are driving round in blissful ignorance that their vehicle is on very dodgy ground? I guess if you've got a dodgy hybrid, offloading it on eBay before word spreads is not a bad plan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
