One for Mike's vapour camper project? Yeah I saw that, I quite like it though I would put a box on the back and use a 130 chassis.

Daan Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 I must admit, it is a familiar truck, if you put it next to the Llama. It is a really good way to create a forward control with very little work. The SVA bit will put people off, had he started with a 110, it would just have been a body swap and therefore exempt from an SVA. I certainly choose it over this: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest it looks like a discovery chassis. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed Poore Posted November 11, 2021 Share Posted November 11, 2021 I think they just say it's a 101 because it's a cabover. Chassis certainly looks like a 110 one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThreePointFive Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 I hate to say it but I can see it getting that, with the way prices are and the quality of the job they've done. I'm not sure what this would have cost from the factory but when late-year, low mileage 110s are achieving £50k it's not unrealistic. With the brakes and transmission changes, there is at least some substance behind it, even if the decision to fit a KBX front end is bizarre. That said, I think the market is slowing as there's a number of (very average) cars hanging around at the £30-40k mark at the moment. I can see some sellers' expectations being readjusted by certain factors in the next year, like social acceptability, tax and fuel prices. Not that I've been watching the market or anything.... What miffs me off is the fully illegal number plate. Why these people think they're above the same law 99.98% manage to accept is beyond me. Just as well it's not included.

geoffbeaumont Posted December 26, 2021 Share Posted December 26, 2021 Notched chassis...so even assuming it's structurally sound should almost certainly have been through an IVA. Wouldn't imagine it has! Not entirely clear why it's a "hybrid" - it appears to just be a butchered 90... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Sparkes Posted December 26, 2021 Share Posted December 26, 2021 I assumed in this case that the 'hybrid' moniker is a personal thing, and not official as it seems to be with EVs with IC engines as well as the electric. I'm guessing this example earned its 'hybrid' status because it's Series 2 bodywork on a chassis / running gear belonging to something else. I'm afraid I have alerted the forum of the Series 2 Club that there's a stack of S2 body panels available. I just cannot judge if taken together with the 200TDI engine the whole is worth anything like £5.5k. I suppose it depends on the individual situation of the purchaser. I take the view that as a road going vehicle it's a ridiculous waste of time. Regards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted December 26, 2021 Share Posted December 26, 2021 No front side lights or indicators, the front bumper & tyres uncovered would be a definite police/DVSA stop me. Can't be road legal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paime Posted December 26, 2021 Share Posted December 26, 2021 I'm not sure why anyone would go to the effort of notching the chassis and deleting lights etc only to make such an ar*e of the paint job. The brake fluid reservoir is all green. It's crazy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missingsid Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 Oddly I have been looking at the remains of my hybrid S2 on my drive (scrapped years ago as it was registered on the S2 logbook not the RRC shame) and thought of this kind of vehicle. Except I would use the LR panels to rebody a dodgy damaged TVR or something rather than try to keep it LR based. Oh and I'd keep the tyres covered, that is ridiculous.

My thoughts are the same if you want something like that, get a sports car of some sort and stick LR panels on it, then at least all the running gear etc is good, with the best will in the world a LR with beam axles is hardly going to be "sporty". Can't see how you would get that down the road with out being pulled and if that happens I hope all the paperwork is in order, IVA/SVA, modified car insurance etc. With those tyre alone its going to struggle to turn or gove over normal road bumps.

simonr Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 That's a quality motor! 🤣 While some of the 'experimental' things I've built have had a lick of the ugly-brush, at least I've had the good grace to cut them up at the end rather than inflict them on someone else! 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
