JJB Serenity Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 it says that the reg date was 1st June 1970 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco-Ron Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Yeah, for the series..... what about when it morphed into a 90...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJB Serenity Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 maybe the series 2 cocooned itself in a silky web and a few months later it emerged as a Defender 90 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco-Ron Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 or, maybe just maybe if you scratched hard enough you might find a defender chassis number on the front dumb iron....LOL... doesn't look to be a shortened rangey one.... no plates in the chassis shot.....

Maverik Posted January 12, 2011 Author Share Posted January 12, 2011 There is what looks like an I.D plate in the drivers foot well... wonder what thats about? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tetsu0san Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 There are some things that look 'Series' or early 90, but overall it doesn't look much like a Series Landy. However, the convertion may have been done before the newer laws came into play that tries to prevent people from just buying a 90 and swapping a couple of plates over to trick people into thinking it's the same tax exempt car. I remember reading a thread on here a little while ago where someone bought a similar truck and it was taken away by the Police to check for legality. It was returned to him and all was OK so you just never know (or the Police are blind...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a perfectly valid statement I made, if your willing to state that it looks like in any way a series 2 vehicle then sorry Sir but you'd be lying and in the eyes of many and likely the LAW you'd would be missleading them. In my experience if you don't question things that don't quite match up, then its your folly if you get nicked! or get your pride and joy taken away from you.

JJB Serenity Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 On the face of it the truck did look suspiciously like a ringer. Now we have been informed it isn't there is no further need for discussion. There is certainly no need for name calling and I think we should just leave it at that.

stobbie Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 It's a good thing that these 'hybrids' are mentioned on this forum; even if this one may be legal (but how do you proof it has been build before new laws when you get involved in serious accident and insurance won't pay, and/or the police take the car?), most of these cars certainly aren't!

Disco-Ron Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 The fact that it was done yrs ago probably explains why the chassis looks crusty...............LOL! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
